Snowshoe Hike Adventure from Akureyri

Snowshoeing in the Great Wide Open!

Step of the beaten track. Join us for a snowshoe hike in the Eyjafjörður Area, Depending on snow and weather conditions, the best location each day will be decided. From the quaint forest of Kjarnaskógur to the county park of Glerárdalur Valley.

During the tour you will stop for a refreshment out in the nature.

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 favorite activity as it provides full freedom to explore a new destinations within the nature reserve, depending on weather and conditions

Is snowshoeing a difficult activity ?

This is a more difficult hike than the Family Hike and we go higher in the Mountains. If you are looking for a more relaxed activity we suggest the Family Snowshoe Hike
