Built on the site of a beloved former ski resort at Kerlingarfjöll, Highland Base is prime real estate for everything from Nordic ski touring to ice caving to snowmobiling to cliff rappelling to lung-cauterizing hiking—one popular route takes you up a mountain in the morning and down a glacier in the afternoon—and more, all with easy access to world-class guides and professional coaches.
