Heli-Assisted Touring — Iceland
Earn your turns
Heli-Assisted Touringin North Iceland.
The best of both worlds. A helicopter does the heavy lifting, then you earn your turns the way touring lovers cherish — skinning up between towering peaks into silent valleys few people ever reach. New to touring? This is the perfect way in.

Questions
Heli-assisted touring,answered.
How much does heli-assisted ski touring in Iceland cost?
From €3,490 for 3 days, €4,690 for 4 days and €5,590 for 5 days, twin per guest, full board at the 4-star Sigló Hótel — the most affordable way to ski the Troll Peninsula. Booking through us costs the same as booking direct.
What is heli-assisted ski touring?
The best of both worlds: the helicopter does the heavy lifting with two heli runs a day, then you earn your turns with a skinned ascent into quiet valleys. It is a superb introduction to touring, guided throughout by IFMGA guides.
How is it different from classic heliskiing?
Classic heliskiing is pure helicopter access with no climbing. Heli-assisted touring mixes heli lifts with skinning — fewer flights, a lower price, more backcountry feel. Expect about four big descents a day.
Do I need touring experience?
No — it is designed as the perfect way into touring, with your IFMGA guide teaching the skills as you go. A reasonable level of fitness and confident off-piste skiing help you enjoy it most.
What is included?
Nights at the 4-star Sigló Hótel, full board, ski or splitboard touring equipment, a BCA avalanche safety kit, IFMGA guiding, and unlimited hot tubs and sauna. Flights and travel insurance are not included.
How many runs and ascents will I do?
A typical day is two helicopter runs and one skinned ascent — about four big descents — repeated each day, for 12, 16 or 20 ascents across a 3, 4 or 5-day trip.
Does booking through Heliski Travel cost extra?
No — we are the authorised agent, so it costs exactly the same as booking direct, plus honest advice on whether touring or classic suits you. Ask us anything.
