Viking Heliskiing

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 Iceland’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 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 don’t have to worry about transporting equipment to and from your hotel.
