Description

Embark on an unforgettable ice climbing and hiking adventure at Falljökull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull within Iceland’s spectacular Skaftafell National Park. Marvel at the breathtaking ice-covered peaks towering over 2,000 meters as you explore a landscape featured in films like James Bond, Interstellar, and Game of Thrones.

Your experience begins with meeting your expert glacier guide, who will provide all the necessary gear, including hiking boots, crampons, ice axes, harnesses, and helmets. After gearing up, you’ll take a short ride on the troll bus to the glacier parking lot, followed by a brief walk to the glacier’s edge, where your guide will show you how to safely fit your crampons.

Once on the glacier, your guide will lead you to the best climbing spots, carefully scouting new crevasses and moulins for a unique and crowd-free adventure. You’ll learn essential ice climbing techniques and experience the thrill of ascending ice walls or rappelling into a crevasse before climbing out again, secured with professional safety equipment.

Beyond climbing, you’ll hike across the glacier to witness stunning ice formations, deep crevasses, and dramatic moulins. During winter, you may even catch a glimpse of the glacier’s mesmerizing blue ice heart through small tunnels, creating a truly magical experience in the heart of Iceland’s raw nature.

Your time on the glacier spans approximately three hours, offering ample opportunity to immerse yourself in this extraordinary environment. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure—check availability and secure your spot on this incredible Icelandic glacier tour today!
