Legendary Heliskiing in Iceland!

Viking Heliskiing Iceland offers world-class heliskiing experiences on Iceland’s largest private terrain, combining adventure, luxury, and safety in the stunning landscapes of the Troll Peninsula.

With its base in Siglufjรถrรฐur, this charming town is surrounded by the mountains and terrain where your heliskiing adventures take place. Staying in Siglufjรถrรฐur offers more than just proximity to the slopes, it allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture, providing a truly authentic experience during your heliskiing holiday.

Mountains & Terrain

Viking Heliskiing Iceland offers access to vast, untouched alpine terrain. The Troll Peninsula and Gold Coast cover over 5,000 square kilometers, featuring numerous peaks reaching 1,200m to over 1,400m above sea level. As Icelandโ€™s largest private heliskiing area, Viking Heliskiing provides exclusive runs from mountain summits all the way down to the sea.

The heliskiing season runs from March to May, with ample snow and diverse skiing and snowboarding opportunities. From March to April, you can revel in fresh powder, skiing until nightfall, and even catch the Northern Lights. The second half of the season offers extended daylight hours and the incredible experience of skiing under the Midnight Sun. From fresh powder to well-groomed spring corn snow, and from intermediate slopes to steep, challenging descents, the snow-covered mountains provide exceptional skiing all the way until June.

The Package

The package of Viking Heliskiing Iceland comes with plenty of inclusions: transport from and to Akureyri Airport, all meals, a morning 20-minute stretch class, 15.000 vertical feet of heliskiing per day, freeride skis/snowboard gear, and more! The small groups of 4 skiers/snowboarders with 1 guide and a maximum of 3 groups per helicopter ensure a seamless experience. Viking Heliskiing prioritizes excellence and, above all, the safety of the guests. Before venturing onto the slopes, every guest undergoes mandatory helicopter and avalanche safety training, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience.

After an exhilarating day in the mountains, unwind at the exclusive Clubhouse heli-base. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy savory snacks and drinks at the bar. At the Clubhouse, the expert guides prepare all BCA avalanche gear, as well as skis or snowboards, so you donโ€™t have to worry about transporting equipment to and from your hotel.

Why We Love Viking Heliskiing

The great variety of snow conditions throughout the season!

Professional Guides that get you to the best powder!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
