Arctic Heli Skiing Iceland

Arctic Heli-skiing is the premier heliskiing operation in Iceland and Greenland. Iceland’s original heliskiing specialists, Arctic Heli Skiing is operated by Bergmenn Mountain Guides on the Troll Peninsula in Northern Iceland. After operating ski touring and ski mountaineering trips on the Troll Peninsula for many year we extended our program to Heli Skiing in 2008. The potential for world class down hill skiing is mind blowing with thousands of slopes and peaks with vertical descents of up to 1400m or almost Our vast terrain covers more than square kilometers, or 1500 square miles of breathtaking Arctic mountains with terrain that suits every skiers ability, be it extreme couloirs or wide open glaciers. Our position just below the Arctic Circle with the mountains rising straight out of the sea allows for a skiing experience of a lifetime, skiing all the way down to the ocean basking in the rays of the Midnight Sun. This can give the concept of night skiing a whole new meaning. Our season starts end of February, but lasts with generally excellent corn skiing and the occasional powder dump until the end of June. The fact that the Troll Peninsula is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean makes for incredible opportunities for skiing right down to the ocean on stable coastal snowpack but also adds the excitement of Arctic weather and conditions. Throw in a mix of Northern lights, midnight sun, volcanic activity, hot springs, lava fields and a unique Viking culture and you will find that Iceland is a true adventure skiing destination. The fact that Iceland is only a few hours flight away from all major cities on both sides of the Atlantic gives you an opportunity for a quick heli ski get away with no jet lag and the minimum of precious days off. Join us for a truly unique experience.
