Skaftafell: Long Adventure Glacier Hike

Explore above and beyond regular glacier hikes in Skaftafell. Stay away from the crowd as you dive deep into challenging terrain, navigate sharp ridges and deep crevasses, try a bit of ice climbing.
Begin your adventure at Skaftafell Airport terminal, where your guide will provide you with all the necessary gear, including crampons, an ice axe, a helmet, and a safety harness. After a short drive to the glacier terminus, receive a thorough briefing on how to use the equipment and the safety rules on the glacier.

Set off to cross the entire glacier, climb up its imposing icefall, and navigate sharp ice ridges and deep crevasses, possibly using ropes. Peek down into deep moulins and explore the glacier’s hidden corners, away from the crowds.

Hike further than regular paths go, into the unknown, where you can truly explore in peace and quiet. The terrain should be challenging, but you will take your time to learn how to tackle it under the guide’s watchful eye. At one of the high points of the hike, make a lunch break and enjoy the views while resting and eating.

On the way back, descend the glacier, finding it easier now that you’ve mastered the glacier hiking techniques. After around 6 hours from the departure, return to the departure point, say goodbye to your guide, and share photos you took with your fellow travelers.
