The excitement of Arctic weather and conditions: Iceland Heli Skiing
Our skiing and snowboarding season in Iceland starts in February, but lasts with generally excellent corn skiing and the occasional powder dump until the end of June. The fact that the Troll Peninsula is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean makes for incredible opportunities for skiing right down to the ocean on stable coastal snowpack but also adds the excitement of Arctic weather and conditions. Throw in a mix of Northern lights, midnight sun, volcanic activity, hot springs, lava fields and a unique Viking culture and you will find that Iceland is a true adventure skiing destination.
Heliski Iceland – areas & helicopters
The Troll Peninsula and the Hidden Land are every skier's dream, with around 90% of the mountains skiable and very few cliff faces or flat sections. The terrain ranges from steep couloirs and faces to wide-open glacier runs.
Your Gateway to Adventure
Located at 65°N in northern Iceland, the Troll Peninsula offers unique summit-to-sea skiing. We believe it has Iceland's best terrain, with the island's longest runs and unmatched size, quality, and variety.
We use AS350B3 helicopters, carrying 4 guests per group, with a maximum of 2 groups per helicopter.

Raven Hill Lodge
Klængshóll Lodge, located in Skíðadalur Valley (Ski Valley), is our main base of operations and ancestral home. The lodge is a historic sheep farm continuously inhabited since the Viking settlement of Iceland around 850 AD. The last sheep farmers at Klængshóll were the grandparents of Arctic Heli Skiing founder Jökull Bergmann, who grew up on the farm working as a shepherd in the Troll Peninsula.
The Klængshóll property includes four cabins, the main farmhouse, the bathhouse and the barn. Built in the late 1950s, the farmhouse retains its traditional character with a spacious kitchen and dining room—the heart of family life—and bedrooms of various sizes. The whitewashed exterior and bright red roof reflect the timeless style of traditional Icelandic farmhouses.
