Short answer: Iceland heliskiing comes in three formats on the Troll Peninsula, all run by Viking Heliskiing from Sigló Hotel. Heli-Assisted Touring is the affordable way in (from €3,490), Classic Heliskiing is the shared group week most guests book (from €6,790, ~45,000 vertical feet), and Private Heliskiing gives you your own helicopter (from €48,990). Which is right depends on your budget, group size and how much helicopter time you want.
On this page: the three ways to ski the Troll Peninsula, each package in detail, a price-and-format table, which one suits you, and what every week includes.
The three ways to ski the Troll Peninsula
Every Viking package skis the same sea-to-summit terrain above Siglufjörður with IFMGA-certified guides and stays at the design-led Sigló Hotel. What changes between packages is how you reach the top of each run — how much you fly, how private the helicopter is, and how many days you ski. Understanding that one variable makes the choice simple.
Classic Heliskiing — the shared group week
Classic Heliskiing is the option most guests book. You ski in a group of four plus a guide, sharing the helicopter, across a 3, 4 or 5-day week. A full week guarantees roughly 45,000 vertical feet of descent, with more available on good-weather days. Pricing runs from about €6,790 to €10,490 depending on length. It is the best balance of cost and helicopter time, and the sociable, camp-style rhythm is part of the appeal. See the Classic Heliskiing package for dates and what a day looks like.
Heli-Assisted Touring — the affordable way in
If the classic week is beyond budget, Heli-Assisted Ski Touring is the entry point, from about €3,490 to €5,590. You get two helicopter runs a day combined with skinned ascents, so you earn some of your turns rather than flying to every summit. It suits fit skiers who like touring and want the Troll Peninsula's terrain without a full heliski budget.
Private Heliskiing — your own helicopter
Private Heliskiing gives you and up to three others the helicopter, the guide and the schedule to yourselves, from about €48,990 to €82,990 for the week. You fly when you want, chase the best snow without waiting on another group, and cover far more vertical. It is the premium end, most cost-effective when you fill all four seats.

Which package is right for you
Choose Heli-Assisted Touring if budget matters most and you enjoy earning turns. Choose Classic Heliskiing if you want proper helicopter access at a sensible price — this is the right call for most first-time Iceland heliskiers. Choose Private Heliskiing if you have the budget and want maximum vertical, flexibility and privacy. Unsure between two? Tell us your budget and dates and we will match you — as Viking's authorised agent it costs the same as booking direct.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to heliski in Iceland?
The most affordable option is heli-assisted ski touring, which starts at about €3,490 for a shared week. You get a smaller number of helicopter drops combined with skinned ascents, rather than helicopter access to every run.
How many days are Iceland heliskiing packages?
Viking Heliskiing runs 3, 4 and 5-day weeks. A classic shared week guarantees around 45,000 vertical feet over the week, with more flying days at the longer end.
Do I need my own group to book a private helicopter?
No. You can book a private-helicopter week for up to four skiers plus a guide as a couple or a small group, but you pay for the whole aircraft, so it is most cost-effective when you fill the seats.
Which Iceland heliski package is best value?
For most guests the classic shared week (from €6,790) is the best balance of cost and helicopter time. Heli-assisted touring is cheaper but flies less; private is the premium end from €48,990.
