Description

This fantastic day out provides the experience of a lifetime ski touring on a choice of one of Iceland’s most beautiful Volcanoes. Choose between Snæfellsjökull or Eyjafjallajökull, you are truly spoilt for choice!

Located on the western coast, Snæfellsjökull is a 700,000 year old glacier capped volcano that provides wonderful touring conditions and breathtaking panoramic scenery on the ski down. You will cover about 5km hiking and gain roughly 1200m in altitude over 3 hours. This ancient volcano peaks at 1446m providing stunning views.

Eyjafjallajökull is situated on the south coast and covers a volcano elevated at 1666m. Famously erupting in 2010, this volcano gives expansive views over the black sand beaches and Eyjafjallajökull’s crater. We’ll hike about 4 hours, covering 8km and gaining 1600m in altitude to reach the summit where we’ll enjoy spectacular views before skiing back down.

We can decide which volcano to visit depending on the weather conditions and your preference. On the ski down either volcano you can expect varied conditions from icy to hard packed to powder. On both trips you will be given a safety induction regarding avalanche and crevasse rescue and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable with everything you need to do.

What an opportunity to explore a volcano and enjoy some first class skiing. Sign up now and we’ll be waiting to share this amazing life experience with you!

If exploring Iceland’s amazing landscapes excites you but you’re not a skier then consider joining us for a 1-day exploration of Sólheimajökull glacier and then witnessing the hypnotising northern lights in the evening. Or if you’re only available during the day, we offer this 1-day excursion for an intimate exploration of Sólheimajökull glacier!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
