2023 Iceland Viking Ski Expedition

Iceland Viking SAIL & SKI Expedition 
April 23-May 1, 2023 

The Iceland ski expedition in the West Fjords aboard the beautiful Arktika sailboat is a life changing experience. More than just bagging new peaks and first time ski descents, it is a journey of appreciation of beautiful landscapes surrounded by the fjords, amazing wildlife and rare marine mammals. The experience goes beyond skiing pristine fields of snow, it is also about uncovering Icelandic history, culture and tasty local meals. You will ski down slopes looking over the Greenland Sea. You’ll be just 5 nautical miles from the Arctic Circle at times! This trip is a true wilderness experience aboard a floating base camp in the form of a well equipped and expertly managed 65 foot sailboat.

The captain and first mate/cook of the boat are well seasoned sailors, adventurers and skiers with local with knowledge of the area and the seas of Iceland and Greenland. The Aurora is a custom,, guided, private ski touring experience.
