The Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland offers ski touring that can’t be replicated anywhere else
Ski touring in Iceland is an unforgettable experience. The rugged mountains drop right into the Arctic Ocean and the treeless views of mountain peaks go on forever. This is a place that still has plenty of unskied terrain where you can be the first person to ever slide across a virgin slopes. Backcountry skiing is always an uncrowded adventure, but backcountry skiing in Iceland takes pristine powder to a whole new level.
Iceland Ski Touring is Truly Unique.

Lodgings & Chalets
Karlsa Lodge
Karlsa Lodge
Accommodations are in the Karlsa Lodge, which is the only ski in ski out ski touring lodge on the Troll Peninsula. Imagine hut to hut skiing, only you’re coming back to a fully renovated 1920’s house with classic Icelandic architecture and completely modern facilities. There’s even a former cow shed that has been transformed into a workroom for tuning and waxing your gear. Staying at Karlsa will constantly remind you of the incredible experience of ski touring in Iceland. From the lodge you have fantastic views of the East Fjord and the Arctic Ocean, where you are able to ski right down to the shoreline and watch the waves come in. This is a family operation and you’ll feel right at home in the large dining room and comfortable lounge as you refuel on a hearty dinner of home cooked food. Seafood, lamb, and dairy products are the staples of the local cuisine and are all prepared in savory varieties.
After a full day of ski touring in Iceland you’ll be happy to take a soak in one of the geothermal pools in the area. Volcanoes and inter-continental plate shifting is what created the fabulous mountains that we ski on during the day, but they also result in the hot springs and pools that we can relax in during
