Skiing

VHF Expeditions offers distinctive sea and land expeditions in remote northern landscapes, with a focus on Jökulfirðir, Hornstrandir and Greenland. The trips combine sailing, hiking, ski touring, nature, and local history in places where former settlements have faded and wilderness now defines the experience.

Travelling aboard the sailing vessel Aurora, guests reach areas that are difficult to access by land. The boat serves both as transport and as a floating base throughout the journey, with accommodation on board, meals included, and each day shaped by weather, conditions, and the opportunities found in each location.

VHF Expeditions is suited to travellers looking for solitude, wilderness, and a deeper connection with nature. In the Westfjords, the company sails through Jökulfirðir and Hornstrandir, where guests hike between fjords, follow old routes, and learn about the history of abandoned coastal communities. In winter, ski and sail adventures offer the chance to explore remote mountains and untouched slopes. In Greenland, expeditions through Sermilik Fjord bring guests close to icebergs, tundra landscapes, Arctic wildlife, and Inuit cultural heritage.

Safety and the overall guest experience always come first, and itineraries may change depending on weather and local conditions. This flexibility is part of travelling responsibly in Arctic and sub-Arctic environments. The trips are designed for small groups, creating a personal and immersive atmosphere where guests have time to experience the landscape, the silence, and the stories held by these remote places
