Family Snowshoe Hike from Akureyri

Guided snowshoe hike

Step off the beaten track. Join us for a snowshoe hike from Akureyri.

Why snowshoes ?
Snowshoes provide flotation on soft snow Metal crampons make them safe on Ice and snow Increase stability in rough terrain A way to experience the silence and calmness of Iceland
Snowshoes and skis are traditionally used in Iceland for hiking in the highlands. Snowshoes are a much easier step into mountaineering than skiing, with a few minutes of instructions, everyone can do a snowshoe hike. Snowshoe hiking is one of our favourite activity as it provides full freedom to explore a new destinations within the nature, depending on weather and conditions

Is snowshoeing a difficult activity ?
In our guided snowshoe hiking tours are tailor made to fit the activity level of each group. Snowshoe hiking is in general just walking with a bit bigger shoes 🙂 one of the main reason that we pick different locations depending on conditions is to make sure to provide as good conditions for beginners as possible
