An opportunity to connect – and disconnect
We have curated this all-women backcountry expedition in order to celebrate the spirit of female adventurers. It offers a space where women can connect, challenge themselves, creating lasting memories at the same time.
The tour starts from Ísafjörður, the capital of the Westfjords. From there we navigate to the southern fjords of Hornstrandir Nature Reserve, a pristine wilderness teeming with snow-clad slopes. This region is uninhabited by all but our friend the Arctic Fox. It is a perfect place to disconnect from daily life and feel free and wild.
For five days we will traverse mountains, slopes and fjords, losing ourselves in the unique beauty of the Westfjords’ rugged terrain. One of the highlights of the journey is the seamless transition from the icy slopes down to the shore of the pristine waters of the Westfjords of Iceland.
Under the leadership of skilled ski guide Sara Hlín Sigurðardóttir, the group will navigate the backcountry. We will carve through powder-covered slopes, happy in the sheer thrill of untouched descents.
Örkin, our expedition boat
The traditional oak boat Örkin, serves as our transport and accommodation. Originally built as a fishing vessel, has been comfortably remade into a passenger vessel with rustic charm. She is perfect for nature adventures and provides space where stories are shared and friendships are forged. All amenities are included, with generous breakfasts and tasty meals to ensure strength for the days ski touring. During downtime, there are perfect opportunities to make use of the on-board SUP’s, or enjoy quiet moments on deck. You can even try a fortifying dip in the ice cold waters of the Westfjords peninsula!
