Do you love ski touring but want to enjoy some heliskiing too? Our Heli-assisted ski touring package is the perfect fit for you. Experienced certified and local guides that know the off-piste terrain to the last mountain will take you on an unforgettable adventure in Iceland.
Each day starts with a helicopter drop to access our ski touring areas. Enjoy a warm-up run and move your legs before dropping into the downhill terrain. The group can choose to continue skinning to the next summit and complete 1 or 2 long ski tours daily. The lunch break is a perfect time to gain strength for the second half. The helicopter will pick up your group again at the end of the last run.
.
Whether you are skiing from the mountain tops down to the ocean or enjoying skiing in different valleys between the high mountains inland, each day is a new experience! The great advantage of this package is the flexibility and use of the helicopter to access the best skiing areas. Another great addition is possible extra heli drops at the end of the day when the helicopter returns to retrieve the group.
Travelling to Iceland for this experience, whether you are a first-timer or have been to Iceland before, will be ingrained in your memory for years to come.
