The hike itself is a challenging journey over a glacier and along high mountain ridges. Furthermore, to reach the top itself one must take on a steep but short scramble with the assistance of a rope. Our professional guides will lead the way and secure the route with ropes and anchors. 

This is not a hike for the faint of heart but the reward is a euphoric feeling of triumph and out of this world views.

This tour adapts to the current snow and ice situation.

Hike with a knowledgeable guide up a steep but relatively short ascent and then along the rocky mountain ridge trail to the top. There it is time to take a well deserved snack break while enjoying the amazing views. If conditions allow, the return hike will take us over a small glaciated snowfield, straight down to where we started.

The trail goes around Mænir mountain and offers magnificent glacier views and a chance to see a truly remote area of the Kerlingarfjöll mountain range.

We will run/hike on very varied surfaces such as mud, snow, sand and gravel and oftentimes there is no visible trail. The diverse landscape will surely somewhat slow us down, not only because it can be difficult to negotiate but also because we will want to stop and marvel in the beauty of our surroundings.
