REYKJANES - NORTH OF ICELAND
We start the day at 10:00 AM at Camp Easy offices in Keflavik, where we meet our fellow companions. After getting a brief on the journey ahead, we get settled with the equipment before hitting the road up North.
This is a one-of-a-kind Wildness Van Expedition in the North and Northwest of Iceland focused on the particularities of skiing & snowboarding in the backcountry of local mountains. We explore quaint villages, spectacular landscapes and encounter an abundance of wildlife throughout our journey.
This is a full-on adventure where we learn how to deal with and read the unpredictable Icelandic weather on a day-to-day basis.
(Daily plans are subjects to changes according to the weather)
The Program is based around following the flow of the island weather.
