Description

If you're looking to earn turns but are also tempted by the idea of spending a day on off-piste runs - then this thrilling Iceland tour might be just what you're looking for.

Our heli-touring adventure begins with a full day using the helicopter to explore some of Iceland’s best terrain. After a day of adventure, we'll bring you back to Sóti Lodge for some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Enjoy a luxurious flotation treatment in a geothermal pool, a soothing sauna, and a three-course dinner in the evening sunlight.

Start your morning with an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet! Then, gear up and hop back in the helicopter for a drop-off in the mountains. This time, you'll experience the serene quiet and exciting remoteness of north Iceland.

Earn your turns as you tour areas that are otherwise inaccessible, and take in the stunning scenery while enjoying the ride.

Note that this trip is designed for intermediate off-piste skiers in good physical condition. Although we expect excellent corn snow, mountain conditions can vary, and you should be comfortable skiing in a range of conditions.

Previous ski touring experience is not required. As long as you are an intermediate skier with a good level of physical fitness (e.g., you regularly hike, run, or mountain bike), our guides can teach you everything you need to know for the touring portion of the trip.

Reserve your spot now for an exciting heli-touring journey with seasoned, certified guides!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
