Overview

30 MINUTES DRIVE from Reykjavik city centre
LENGTH: 11 km – 6,8 miles
ELEVATION: 450 m – 1470 ft
DIFFICULTY: Moderate
DURATION: 6hrs
AGE LIMIT: 16+

Embark on a thrilling hike to Grímmannsfell, a hidden gem that promises both challenge and reward. Traverse a diverse terrain of lush fields, soft bogs, and rugged ditches that demand agility and a spirit of exploration. As you ascend, a steep and exhilarating slope awaits, pushing you to new heights—both physically and mentally (400m / 1310 ft elevation).

Reach the peak of Stórhóll and be greeted by sweeping panoramic vistas stretching over Iceland’s rugged terrain, a sight that few get to witness up close.

Continue to the enchanting Helgufoss Waterfall, a secluded oasis where the cascading water creates a peaceful retreat in the midst of the wild.

After your hike, step into the world of Halldór Laxness, Iceland’s only Nobel Prize-winning author. His former home, now a museum, offers a fascinating look into his life and creative mind.
