Journey from Reykjavík and explore Iceland's famous South Coast. Stop to explore and take pictures at Skogafoss & Seljandsfoss, Ice Climb on Solheimajökull.
We know ice climbing is for everyone. With combined experience of years in the glacier industry and and literally thousands of glacier hikes, we have developed a unique ice climbing program that will allow even those who have never climbed before, to climb amongst the beautiful blue ice walls.
Our day will start with a basic introduction to how to walk on ice and a basic climbing technique called front pointing. We will combine these two two techniques and with a very mellow ice climbing wall, we will put those skills to the test. Once you are confident, we will progress to different walls which offer various challenges until you are totally satisfied.
See you on the ice for your first ice climb on Solheimajokull Glacier Outlet!!!
