“Everything I imagined and more”
I’d dreamed about skiing in Iceland for years — and Viking Heliskiing made it better than I ever imagined. The terrain is out of this world, the guides are total pros, and the vibe at the lodge was just as memorable as the skiing. From hot tub views over the Arctic Ocean to skiing untouched lines right down to the beach, every day felt like magic. I’ll be back — with friends.

“Heliskiing in fantastic conditions”
Heliskiing in fantastic conditions… small groups with very recent helicopters and above all endless skiing possibilities… staff, the guides… give sincere importance to customers. Top level!

“Legends of the Troll Peninsula!”
Björgvin and Jóhann are legends — no exaggeration. Skiing with them felt like stepping into a National Geographic episode, only more fun. They know these mountains like their own backyard (because they basically are), and the passion they bring to guiding is infectious. This is not just a trip — it’s an experience of a lifetime.
– David K., Colorado, USA
“Viking Heliskiing made us feel like family”
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed like old friends. The team’s energy and hospitality are unmatched. We skied untouched lines, saw the Northern Lights from the hot tub, and ate like kings. But it was the people that made it special — kind, professional, and genuinely passionate. We left with full hearts and sore legs.
– Linda & Markus, Germany
“Skiing into the ocean? Unreal.”
Where else in the world can you drop into powder and finish at the edge of the sea? Nowhere I’ve ever skied before. Viking Heliskiing has the best terrain I’ve ever ridden — and I’ve done heliskiing in Canada and Alaska. But Iceland? It’s something else. The contrast between wild Arctic landscapes and first-class service was just perfect.
– Tom R., United Kingdom
“A dream for serious skiers”
I’ve skied in the Alps my whole life, but nothing compares to this. The terrain here is raw, vast, and untouched — like skiing on another planet. The guides knew exactly where to find the best snow, and the vertical was insane. The vertical feet system is brilliant — we skied more and felt less rushed. Pure joy.
– Felix M., Innsbruck, Austria
“Expert Certified Guides”
Expert certified guides… vast knowledge of Trollaskagi terrain… safe, fun touring and heliskiing… picturesque place on the globe.

“Best ski trip of my life”
I’ve skied Jackson, Utah, BC… but nothing touched what we experienced in Iceland. The combination of big mountain skiing, ocean views, and Viking-level hospitality made this the best trip I’ve ever taken. The food, the hot tub under the Northern Lights, the après-ski ski deck… I’m telling everyone back home: go to Iceland and ski with the Vikings.

“Like stepping into another world”
From the moment we landed in Akureyri, it felt like stepping into a snow-filled dream. The Troll Peninsula is like nowhere I’ve ever seen — towering peaks, endless snow, and zero crowds. We skied straight to the ocean. And the guides? Absolute legends. These guys live and breathe skiing.

“Five stars isn’t enough”
I travel often for skiing — Chile, Canada, Switzerland — but Viking Heliskiing in Iceland is now at the top of my list. The terrain is spectacular, the team is deeply passionate, and the level of service is world-class. I was lucky to ski with Jóhann himself — a true Viking and a master of the mountain.
– Ricardo Vieira, São Paulo
“True passion, true people”
What stood out the most for me wasn’t just the incredible terrain or perfect snow (and both were unbelievable), but the people. You can tell this operation is built on love — love for the mountains, for the culture, and for sharing something extraordinary. Björgvin and the entire crew made me feel like I belonged.

„Ein Erlebnis für die Ewigkeit“
Die Troll-Halbinsel ist einfach spektakulär. Wir hatten perfekte Bedingungen und traumhafte Abfahrten bis zum Meer. Die Guides waren hochprofessionell und gleichzeitig super herzlich. Das neue Höfði-Lodge ist ein Meisterwerk – Komfort pur mitten in der Wildnis. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!
– Tobias L., München, Deutschland
« Une expérience hors du commun »
Tout était parfait – de l’organisation à la qualité de la neige. Les guides sont passionnés, attentifs et connaissent le terrain par cœur. Skier jusqu’à l’océan, avec des vues incroyables à chaque virage, c’est une sensation unique. Merci à toute l’équipe des Vikings !
– Camille B., Annecy, France
“Amazing Guides”
The guides were amazing… incredible knowledge of the surrounding area… The operation is the real deal and I can’t recommend it more!
– Chris Burkard (California, US)

Three fantastic days… amazing views, outstanding skiing and super friendly people… perfectly organized… food, drinks and music all contribute to a relaxed and high quality atmosphere.

Unforgettable from start to finish
This was my first time heliskiing, and I was honestly a bit nervous. But the team at Viking Heliskiing made it feel effortless. Everything was organized, professional, and so welcoming. From the gorgeous new lodge at Höfði to the calm confidence of the guides, I felt safe and cared for the whole time. And the views? Unbelievable.
