Winter in the Icelandic mountains is a fantastic time to be amongst some of the most challenging winter conditions in Europe. Draped in snow and ice the mountains become a formidable and enthralling playground. Winter climbing and ice climbing is our game this time of year. Luxury Adventures specialises in winter climbing and winter mountaineering. In the adrenaline and adventure spectrum of mountain sports, ice climbing must rank fairly high. The demands on the practitioner can be enormous. Physical strength, endurance, nerve, technique and organisation are only part of the story. These skills must be married with sound mountaineering judgement, avalanche and weather awareness, navigation skills and the ability to function to a high level over a long day. But the key point is ‘Ice Climbing is tremendous fun!
