Oceans, Valleys and Peaks Skiing Trip (6 Days)

The mountain massif between the Skjálfandaflói bay and the Eyjafjörður fjord is one of the greatest areas for alpine touring in Iceland. The massif is cut into three mountain ridges by two walleyes from north to south with peaks rising on each side up to 1200 meters (4000 feet) above sea level. This makes each day‘s skiing ideal in length and guarantees very nice skiing down to the huts we stayed in during the tour. This ski tour takes us from the east part of the massif across to the west, staying in small basic but warm mountain huts on the way, enjoying one the best skiing possible on Iceland’s north coast. Total distance: 63 kilometers (40 miles) Walking/Skiing per day: 5 - 8 hours Altitude: 250 - 1500 meters (850 - 5000 feet) Maximum ascent: 1100 meters (3600 feet)
