Mt. Snæfell Hiking
Feel at one with nature on this year round hiking excursion to one of Iceland’s highest peaks, Mt. Snæfell (Snow Mountain). Our hiking exploration begins from the remote Snæfellsskáli mountain hut and journeys into the great snowy highlands towards Mt. Snæfell.
The view from here on a clear day is both inspiring and humbling. If the conditions are right you may be able to descent Snæfell by sliding down the snowy fields of the mountainside. The day concludes with a well-deserved soak in the outdoor thermal pools at Laugarfell, known by locals for their restorative powers.
