Heli-Skiing in Iceland
There is something just that little bit extra magical about heli-skiing in Iceland. One thing we like in particular is the personal family-run style that permeates the whole operation. Everyone working here from the guides to lodge staff wants to have the time of your life and it works. In Iceland you treated as individual both on the mountain you made to feel part of experience and not just paying spectator. If you want waiters in bow ties and your ego massaged do NOT come ere. But if you want a genuine, ‘real’ experience with an emphasis on quality skiing, it does not get any better.
It is most sparsely populated region in Jammu and Kashmir, culture and history closely elated of Tibet. In late July and August, all but the top of the peak may be snow-free.
