Snowshoeing in Iceland – an adventure around the Troll Peninsula and a full tour of the island

April

Iceland – an adventure from another planet. Breathtaking views, a full tour of the island, snowshoe hikes from the seashore and complete merging with nature.

A visit to Iceland is a real experience close to nature. Far from civilization, we will enjoy the unique volcanic landscape with breathtaking views and walks starting from the ocean coast. The starting points are often directly from the coastal roads or from small side valleys where there is infrastructure. Most of the peaks are about 1000 meters above sea level.

The base for our program will be a simple, typical Icelandic house, located in the area of the town of Akureyri. Relaxing on the veranda after another wonderful day of skiing with a cappuccino or a cold beer in hand, against the backdrop of the almost never-setting sun, is a real delight for the soul. The house has an equipped kitchen, which will be at our disposal. The idea is to shop at nearby stores offering various local delicacies, which we will prepare ourselves. We will split the shopping costs between us. Of course, we can also visit some of the few local restaurants, on our way back from some of the tours. All this gives us the freedom to be flexible each day, without being tied to fixed meal times.

The program is suitable for both people with experience in snowshoeing and for complete beginners, who are up for adventure.

Note: We keep the rights to change the program in case of force majeure circumstances.

* The price is per person with a minimum of 5 registered.

* Reservation should be no later than 30 days before the program. Reservation is considered confirmed if payment is processed within 3 days after booking.
