Join Asgard Beyond for unforgettable ski touring adventures in Iceland, exploring some of the country’s most impressive mountains and volcanoes. We offer a range of guided trips for all experience levels — from accessible day tours from Reykjavík to challenging ascents on Iceland’s highest summits.
Our day tours are perfect for those new to ski touring or looking for a rewarding backcountry experience close to the capital. For more advanced objectives, we venture onto Iceland’s glaciated volcanoes, including Snæfellsjökull on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and Eyjafjallajökull in the south, where vast glaciers and sweeping descents meet stunning ocean views.
We also guide expeditions on Öræfajökull, home to Iceland’s highest peak, Hvannadalshnúkur (2,110 m), and its striking neighbor, Sveinstindur (2044m). These tours combine glacier travel, alpine ascent, and long, unforgettable ski runs from summit to sea.
