Meet us at the Sólheimajökull Glacier parking lot for an unforgettable ice adventure. This small-group tour includes an expertly guided glacier hike and optional ice climbing – no previous experience needed.

Your certified glacier guide will provide all the necessary equipment, including crampons, helmets, ice axes, and safety gear. After a safety briefing and gear fitting, you’ll hike across the glacier’s stunning landscape of crevasses, ice ridges, and blue-hued formations. Along the way, you’ll learn about the glacier’s geology and dynamic nature.  You will be able to witness some breathtaking panoramic views, as well as crevasses, ridges and even an ice wall where you will have an introduction to ice climbing and will be able to experience it firsthand.
