Description

The Troll Peninsula is a unique ski touring and splitboarding destination in Northern Iceland, offering a wide variety of slopes for all level of skiers and for all tastes. Join me for one or more days and discover a stunning location with amazing terrain and breathtaking landscapes.

During these days, you will be able to enjoy ski runs up to 1300m all the way down to the ocean! The mountains here are the perfect combination of steep faces and couloirs and wide and open low angled glacier runs.

The peaks and valleys of the Troll Peninsula offer endless ski touring possibilities. Besides, if you come late in the season, you will be able to ski at midnight under the rays of the midnight sun. If you come earlier, you will have the chance to watch the magical northern lights!

Additional services such as accommodation, meals and transportation can be added to the program. If you decide to stay for several days, our base will be the fantastic Karlsá Lodge, the best ski touring base in the country. After an intense skiing day we have the possibility of relaxing in one of the many geothermal baths in the area, or in the sauna or hot tub at the lodge, overlooking the Arctic Ocean.

The Karlsá Lodge is located on the spectacular East coast, in the middle of the best ski terrain in the Troll Peninsula. It is the only “ski in-ski out” lodge on the Peninsula. Not only will we enjoy amazing ski tours, but we will also taste delicious local dishes made by the in-house chef with fresh local ingredients.

I know these mountains like the back of my hand and I will take you to explore all the secret spots that only locals know. So what are you waiting for? Send me a request and book your trip! Come discover this hidden ski touring and splitboarding gem in Iceland!

If you have more time available, check my 5-day ski touring trip or the ski touring trip from a sailboat, both in the Troll Peninsula as well.

About the guide

Mountain Guide

I'm Iceland's first and only IFMGA internationally certified mountain guide. I'm a member of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides ACMG with whom I finished my certification. I have climbed and skied extensively all over the world, and I lived and worked in both the European Alps and the mountains of Western Canada.
I have brought this wealth of diverse experiences to Iceland and the Arctic North where I have to my name over a hundred first ascents and descents in Iceland and Greenland.
My love of the mountains grew from an early age working as a shepherd on my grandparent's farm on the Troll Peninsula in Northern Iceland. Or maybe it had something to do with my name, which in English would translate directly to Glacier Mountain man.
If you want to discover this beautiful country, please get in touch with me and let's leave together for incredible adventure!

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.
