Who has cross country skied through the Icelandic Highlands? Very few in the world can say they have done this in their lifetime, really! So if you crave a 4×4 drive and a really good physical challenge… An Iceland cross country skiing expedition awaits you!
What to Expect:
After meeting at the designated meeting point you will hop into a 4×4 or super jeep (depending on conditions) to begin your trek. With weather in mind, your expedition leader will take you to an exciting starting point. You’ll gear up for however long of an adventure your private small group (2-6 people) desires.
