Karlsá is situated right on the ocean with spectacular views across the fjord to the Gold Coast hence combining the two things that make skiing in Iceland so very special, the mountains and the ocean, making it possible to ski from summit to sea.

Karlsá lodge was added to the Arctic Heli Skiing / Bergmenn Mountain Guides program in 2014 and is owned and operated by Bergmenn just like its sister property Klængshóll Lodge. With its amenities and prime location, Karlsá is the perfect location to base out of on your ski touring program.

living room at Karlsá

Built in the late 1920´s but since renovated, the main house is a great example of the architecture and style of the era and all efforts have been made to retain the style and charm of the original structure. In addition the old cow shed has now been transformed into a workshop where skiers can store and maintain their skis. After a day of skiing nothing beats relaxing in the outdoor sauna or soaking in the hot tub with the view of the snow capped peaks across the fjord.

It has been said that location is everything and in that regard Karlsá is perfectly situated on the Troll Peninsula with amazing terrain accessible with only a few minutes flight. Karlsá is 40 minutes away from the Akureyri airport, 2 minutes away from the cozy town of Dalvík, 10 minutes away from Ólafsfjörður and strategically located right in the middle of the best skiing terrain on the Troll Peninsula. No location comes close to Karlsá Lodge in convenience and ease of access. In addition Karlsá is situated right on the ocean with spectacular views across the fjord to the Gold Coast hence combining the two things that make skiing in Iceland so very special, the mountains and the ocean, skiing all the way to the sea.
