Iceland, skitouring 2027

Day 1; Pick up at Keflavik airport or Reykjavik city (depending on our flight) and hop in our car. The guide will drive us to our accommodation in the north, stopping for some sightseeing on the way. The journey is around 5 hours, if you prefer, you can take an internal flight to Akureyri.

Days 2 to 6; Skitouring everyday on Tröllaskagi area. Tröllaskagi is a peninsula with more than 100 skiable peaks, with altitudes between 1,000 and 1,500m. One of the features of the area is that you can ski down to the ocean, always on open ground. The circular road goes along the coast through the different fjords, and we just aprk and start skinning. Depending on the weather and the conditions, we will choose one area or another, always within a radius close to the accommodation and with the possibility of connecting different valleys. Daily elevation gain can vary between 900 and 1,500m, always depending on meteorological and snow conditions and group fitness and skills. Every afternoon we have the opportunity to swim in one of the municipal thermal water pools of the villages in the area, and of course visit the northern capital, Akureyri, only 30′ drive.

Day 7; After skiing we will head back to the capital Reykjavik, where we can enjoy its lively nightlife and where we will expend our last night in the island.

Day 8; Breakfast and farewell, the end of our trip.

Iceland is located in the middle of the North Atlantic, just below the Polar Circle. Its south coast is affected by the Gulf current, and the annual temperatures and climate are moderate and with abundant rainfall.  This special weather shapes the landscape with the presence of large glaciers and ubiquitous greenery.

On the other hand, its northern coast is strongly influenced by the Arctic, with warm temperatures in summer and cold in winter, and abundant rainfall in the form of snow. The landscape has been shaped by the presence of large glaciers, which have left wide valleys and slopes of all inclinations, perfect for skiing.

Although tourism is a reality that can be overwhelming during the summer, in winter we can experience its completely rural character, where sheep farms and fishing villages are the protagonists of daily life.

Menjar

El menjar el comprarem al supermercat d'Akureyri de manera conjunta. El cost total aproximat dels esmorzars, dinars i sopars de la setmana és de 150€ per persona. El guia pot coordinar la compra conjunta i dividir-ho entre el grup.

Clima

Islàndia es troba a 64ªN, molt aprop del Cercle Polar. En aquesta època de l'any les temperatures ja no són extremes, els dies comencen a ser molt llargs i l'hivern ja s'acaba. Podem tenir dies de 0 graus i dies de 15.

La característica principal del clima a Islàndia és la variabilitat, encara que generalment en aquesta època i en aquesta zona de l'illa el temps és bastant estable.

Transport

Disposarem d'un vehicle per al grup. El trajecte des de l'aeroport fins l'allotjament dura unes 5 hores. Es pot optar per un vol intern des de Reykjavik fins Akureyri.
Un cop allí, els desplaçaments diàris són d'uns 30′.
