Founded in 1996, Mountaineers is one of the oldest activity providers and the oldest and most experienced snowmobile operator in Iceland.
Every day we Operate Super Jeep and Glacier Snowmobile Tours in the Rugged Landscape of Iceland. Offering the Rustic Moods of Mountaineers.
Let´s take for example our top seller “The Pearl Tour”, an Iceland adventure where you will experience some of Iceland’s most famous and exciting natural phenomena.
Our first stop on the Golden Circle is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home of Iceland’s first parliament and the oldest extant parliamentary institution in the world. Founded in 930 AD, it is Iceland’s most significant historical site.
Also capturing the world’s attention is Þingvellir’s geological features where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates can be seen separating from each other, although, ever-so-slightly year after year. Now after many millennium, you can witness the big gap that’s been formed at this geological marvel.
From Þingvellir, we head inland towards the highly active Geysir Hot Spring area with its boiling mud pits and spouting hot springs. For some wet and wild excitement, if the winds are right, you can let the falling water from the mighty geyser give you a good dousing.
We continue on to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most powerful waterfalls. Located on Hvítá river, this waterfall fed by Langjökull Glacier, plummets 32 meters in two stages into a rugged canyon. And while you’re there, keep your fingers crossed; with a little luck, on a sunny day, you’ll be greeted by a rainbow.
To top it all off, we drive to Langjökull Glacier for another Iceland adventure where we will dash across snowfields on snowmobiles, gazing at the mountain peaks, while enveloped in this icy realm.
At the hut we provide you with everything you need to ride the glacier comfortably with the complete necessary equipment such as a helmet, overalls, overshoes, gloves and a hat.
The tour is guided by Mountaineers highly skilled staff who possess geographical knowledge of Iceland and will provide solid snowmobile instructions for you to become a confident snowmobile rider before we set off into the winter wonderland
.
Iceland is geologically a relatively new country, and a trip through this area is a real adventure. The sparsely populated landscape, which is hardly used for commercial purposes, offers a unique sight for many visitors.
After being introduced to Iceland’s endangered glaciers and pristine nature with inspiring moments of wonder, we hope you will be leaving happy and eager to revisit our beautiful country.
We then head back to Reykjavik after a day full of adventure, where you will definitely have experienced the moods of mountaineers... What a day!
