The Fjords of Iceland
Backcountry Skiing in the Land of Fire and Ice

Overview

Run in conjunction with Borea Adventures, these trips are all about backcountry skiing in the beautiful Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the West Fjords of NW Iceland. We will ski between remote fjords and use the comfortable sailing yacht Aurora as our base camp, anchoring in a different spot every night. Many of the mountains and ridges have never been skied before so don’t expect to wait in a line-up before cruising down the mountain of your choice! There are many different slopes and we will plan our routes to fit people of all abilities and interests. Most people use AT (randonnée) or Telemark skis but snowboards, cross-country skis or snowshoes can be used as well. We usually spend about 6-8 hours in the mountains each day but those who want shorter days, can just ski down to the boat when they choose. This is prime time for skiing but we still carry a few kayaks on the yacht and people are quite welcome to take a break from skiing and do some kayaking as well.
