Private Ice Climbing on Vatnajökull Glacier

Private Ice Climbing Clinic on Vatnajökull with Expert Coaching

Join Ice Guardians for a full day of learning, coaching, and ice climbing on one of Vatnajökull’s outlet glaciers. Spend up to eight hours exploring this frozen wonderland, including hikes to and from the glacier as well as multiple face and/or moulin climbs.

Throughout the day, you will receive expert instruction from one of our local guides. Your ice climbing clinic on Vatnajökull starts with a relatively low-grade climb. As the day progresses, so does the steepness of your climbs! You can eventually reach vertical or more!

If you enjoy heights and looking down bottomless pits, then you will love descending into glacier moulins, one of the scariest glacial features, before climbing back out.

This is a PRIVATE trip to allow for maximum progression and contact time with your guide and coach.

A maximum of two persons are allowed on this trip at this price. If you have a larger group or have any questions about private ice climbing on Vatnajökull, please contact us. You will communicate directly with a guide who can provide you with all the information you need.
