Viking low

AS IT HAPPENS
THE DAY OF ARRIVAL
Guests will be picked up at Akureyri airport and driven to the Viking Heliskiing Lodge. Guests
can also be picked up in Akureyri by our helicopter upon request. When check-in at our Lodge is
completed our guests will have a short meeting with other skiers and the Viking Heliskiing guides.
After the meeting and a little chat, dinner is served in the main Lodge. In the evening guests can
relax and enjoy a drink and some snacks while studying the program for the days ahead.
READY FOR THE THRILL OF YOUR LIFE?
You better be – you are staying with the Vikings and you are about to experience the adventure of
a lifetime. We bring you heliskiing, adventure and spectacular views and unforgettable moments.

After breakfast there will be a short briefing on avalanche safety and beacon training, helicopter
safety, and ski-/snowboard equipment adjustment, just so everyone will be ready.
Then the fun part starts; heliskiing/helisnowboarding down new lines to the Arctic Ocean. Terrain
selection is determined by the guides and is based on avalanche assessment, weather and the
skiing ability of the group. Your safety is our number one priority.
After a few runs we will find a spot for our lunch which will be served outside on the mountain,
picnic style. Then our ride continues through the day. Viking Heliskiing has reached an agreement
with some of the local farmers, allowing us to drop in at the farms to taste Icelandic shark, smoked
arctic char or even smoked lamb.
After skiing each day you can enjoy some of the adventure packages. Later in the evening the group
will have dinner together in the Viking Heliskiing Lodge and discuss the great runs and adventures
of the day.
In case of bad weather and down days you have an opportunity to explore Iceland in a different
way and enjoy all the activities we have to offer.
DEPARTURE DAY
After breakfast we will head out to the mountains to enjoy our last day. On the schedule today is
exploring more new lines and stunning views. The last run of the day will be a Home Run, skiing all
the way down to the Lodge where you can for the last time jump in the hot tub before enjoying the
final drink and saying goodbye to your guides and your new friends.
Guests will be driven back to Akureyri where they can either go straight to the airport or spend
some time in Akureyri. Upon request we can also use our helicopter to fly you back to Akureyri.
It can be hard to leave, but all fairy tales have to end. But keep in mind that you are always welcome
back to join the Vikings and for another amazing chapter in your life.
