Small-Group Glacier Hike & Ice-Climb on Sólheimajökull

Join us for a half-day glacier hike and intro ice-climb on Sólheimajökull, one of Iceland’s most accessible outlet glaciers. We run with a maximum of six guests, so every outing feels private.

What to Expect

• Hike a Moving River of Ice – hear how glaciers form, flow and retreat in real time

• Intro to Ice Climbing – swing tools, kick crampons and top-rope on blue ice.
• All Technical Gear Included– crampons, helmet, harness, ice tools, rope; you just bring layers and sturdy boots.
