ski touring in northern Iceland on the Troll Peninsula

Karlsá Lodge is the only ski in ski out ski touring lodge on the Troll Peninsula and is located on the spectacular East coast of the peninsula, overlooking the Eyja Fjord and the spectacular Gold coast of the Hidden Land on the other side.

Day by day
- Step 1: Arrival DayPick up in Akureyri the capital of northern Iceland in the late afternoon followed by a 40 min transfer to our Karlsá Lodge for a meet and greet. Welcome dinner is served and we go over the week's agenda.
- Step 2: Day 1Our first day of skiing above Karlsá Lodge. The morning is spent on detailed avalanche transceiver and avalanche rescue training, followed by our first peak of many. Our average daily vertical ranges from 1000-1800 meters depending on the group. For those that want more we can go until your legs say stop as there is endless terrain to choose from.
- Step 3: Day 2-3 (or 5)Our guides set the pace and rhythm of the program so that everyone enjoys it to the fullest. After each day of skiing we will relax and enjoy Karlsá Lodge lounging in the hot tub, or relaxing in the sauna followed by one delicious meal after another feasting on organic lamb, fish and game prepared by our gourmet chef.
- Step 4: Day 4 or 6 (Departure Day)This is the last day of skiing. After a good breakfast and sorting our luggage we head out for our final day. We will enjoy more great turns and good times followed by lunch in the field. After another great day we transfer the group to Akureyri where guests can catch a flight to Reykjavik or continue their travels in Iceland. We say our goodbyes and head home with the memory of a unique ski touring holiday and already have our plans for future adventures falling into place.

Getting There
Once you arrive at Keflavík International Airport (KEF) in the south a 45 minute mini bus or taxi ride will bring you to the capital of Iceland, Reykjavík.
The flight with Icelandair from Reykjavík to Akureyri takes 35 minutes and there are a number of departures throughout the day. We recommend a late afternoon departure around 17:00 or 18:00.
We have limited staff to do airport transfers so if you arrive to Akureyri earlier in the day we will not be able to pick you up until the evening.
