The Snow Desert • An expedition right into the heart of Iceland – the highlands. And in winter. We‘ll provide you with the best equipment and expert guides who know the region. The rugged landscapes showcase nature’s raw beauty, with vast expanses of volcanic fields, glaciers, and otherworldly terrain that changes at every turn. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and frozen waterfalls, off-roaders in Iceland during winter discover a magical and serene world, creating memories while navigating icy trails and awe-inspiring scenery.
Itinerary
Rivers of ice • Mountains high, frozen rivers deep – We’ll be driving through the deepest snow, and will have many chances to practice our off-road recovery skills. We will work our way through frozen rivers into the most remote valleys of the highlands. You will be amazed by this extraordinary nature, its beauty, and guaranteed solitude.
Vatnajökull • True Adventures – Depending on the weather conditions, we’ll have the opportunity to drive all of the glaciers of Iceland. And, yes, that will include the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull. The endless expanse of ice and snow will feel like being transported to Antarctica.
The sky is burning • This is Aurora Borealis – We will travel to all the best northern sites in the country of Iceland. Gulfoss and Skógafoss frozen are a site to be experienced. Walking on iced rivers using crampons is spectacular. The blue hour and golden hour – plus aurora borealis – make the whole adventure seem unreal. In the evenings, we‘ll warm up in excellent local accommodations.
