SNOWSHOEING FOR FAMILIES- Private tour

PLEASE NOTE

Due to weather or road conditions, the tour might take more time, less time or be cancelled.

We believe children can sometimes do much more than adults think they can do.

But still, parents estimate much better than us if their children can do this.

We set a minimum age of 5 years old. The kids snowshoes carry a minimum weight of 20 kg.

The minimum charge for a family trip is 27.500 ISK.

We use our snowshoes when there is enough snow, or put on crampons if there is more ice then snow.

WHAT TO BRING

CHECKLIST:

Dress warm enough, we are on an arctic island in winter time.

Weather conditions can change suddenly!

  • Waterproof and/or windproof jacket (also waterproof pants are recommanded as you often sink in snow)

  • Hiking boots or solid shoes

  • Fleece or wool sweater, or both

  • Thermal underwear makes winter very comfortable

  • Winter outdoor pants. (Jeans is a bad idea. It's not warm, gets wet very easy and takes long to dry. Unless you got extra waterproof pants to cover them of course.)

  • Warm hat, scarf and gloves

  • Sunglasses and sun protection. Let's be optimistic.

  • Snack and water bottle (it is just as easy to get dehydrated during the winter as it is in the summer)

  • Small backpack can be good to put your extras in (camera, snack, water, sweater).
