When you book a private tour with us the focus is entirely on you and your needs. This means you get the most out of your experience with the opportunity to improve your climbing technique through multiple climbs tailored to your skill level. We meet at Sólheimajökull car park where we discuss your trip expectations and abilities. We make sure you have all the necessary gear for the days conditions. We provide technical gear such as ice climbing boots, crampons, helmets, harnesses, and ice climbing axes.
The walk starts at the car park and takes about 20 minutes to reach the glacier. Once there we put on our crampons and start exploring the ever changing landscape of the glacier. No two trips are the same and we are passionate about finding the best climbing spots. After a brief lesson on the fundamentals of ice climbing you get to put your skills to the test on the majestic ice walls. If you prefer we can also take a leisurely walk to see the best ice formations the glacier has to offer.
The total distance covered on the tour can vary from 3 to 4 km depending on the group and glacier conditions. The ice climbing portion of the trip takes about 3 to 3.5 hours and the entire tour lasts about 4.5 hours. Book your private tour with us today and discover the beauty and adventure of the glacier world.
