Rewarding Ski Lines on the Troll Peninsula of Iceland

Iceland is a land of wild nature mixed with a pinch of magic, offering untouched valleys and breathtaking mountain scenery.

Welcome to the Tröllaskagi Peninsula, the skiers’ dream. This remarkable fjord valley, where dreams come true: it is possible to ride from the mountain top to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, all in one run.

For most people who come ski touring in the north of Iceland, the novelty is skiing down to the sea. Not only that, but there's lots and lots of virgin powder and these first runs are yours for the taking. This is a particular feature of skiing in more remote regions such as Tröllaskagi.

In this guidebook, we present a few of these runs, ranging from exciting steep lines to beautiful long descents, always rewarded with ocean views from the top (if the severe weather allows you…More common is' "here comes the wind" - the unforgettable Icelandic experience).
