Backcountry, Randonée (Ski Touring) or Cross-Country Skiing
There are ski instructors, and then there are ski instructors, and your guides on this mountainside excursion are amongst the very best. Local ‘legend’ Tore is widely regarded as one of the foremost Telemark skiers in the Nordics, and his son Vegard has been recruited for his coaching skills to lead the Icelandic national team. They know these peaks and valleys better than anyone, coming from a family which has skied here for more than three generations. For all their pedigree, they are both humble, patient teachers who inspire skiers of any level with courage and trust.
This excursion is suitable for anybody, from first timers to experienced skiers, with three different styles to choose from:
Backcountry skiing
Suitable for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced skiers. You travel through untouched Arctic terrain, surrounded by silence, nature, and wide‑open landscapes. Backcountry offers great flexibility with regard to both weather and experience level, and it is the perfect introduction for those who want to explore the mountains at a comfortable pace.
Randonnée skiing
Ideal for seasoned or highly confident skiers seeking a more dynamic challenge. Randonnée offers access to steeper summits, varied snow conditions, and more technical descents for those who want to push their skills.
Cross‑country skiing
Perfect for guests with some prior skiing experience. Cross‑country takes place on prepared trails and offers a rhythmic, endurance‑based way to explore the landscape.
