On this page: everything that's in the price, the vertical guarantee, accommodation and meals, guiding and safety, and what costs extra.
What's included
Every Classic week covers helicopter access to the terrain, IFMGA-certified guiding, all safety equipment, accommodation, meals and transfers during the programme. It is designed so that once you arrive in Siglufjörður, the skiing days are taken care of.
The vertical guarantee
The classic week guarantees roughly 45,000 vertical feet across the week, with more available on good-weather days. It is one reason the multi-day format exists — it protects your skiing against the odd down day.
Accommodation and meals
You stay at the design-led Sigló Hotel on the harbour, a five-minute walk from the helipad, with meals included through the programme.
Guiding and safety
Guiding is by IFMGA-certified professionals, and safety equipment — transceiver, airbag pack, radio — is provided and briefed. Your job is to ski; theirs is to manage the mountain.
What's not included
Flights to Iceland, travel and heliski-specific insurance, personal skis and clothing, and gratuities are separate. Budget for these on top of the package.
Optional extras
Gear rental and additional nights can usually be arranged. Compare the three packages to see how inclusions scale from heli-assisted to private.
