Join us for an unforgettable 3-day hiking tour through the breathtaking Þórsmörk (Thorsmork) valley—one of Iceland’s most dramatic and beautiful landscapes. Nestled between the glaciers of Tindfjallajökull and Eyjafjallajökull, Þórsmörk is named after the Norse god Thor and offers a striking mix of deep valleys, moss-covered hills, glacial rivers, and rugged volcanic terrain.
Led by a local hiking guide with deep knowledge of the area, you’ll explore trails suited to a range of experience levels. Expect hikes lasting 3 to 6 hours daily, with narrow ridges, steep moraines, and thrilling views around every corner. This area’s unique microclimate creates rare green oases of birch forests and blooming moss—unlike anywhere else in Iceland.
You’ll stay in the cozy Básar mountain hut, sharing dorm-style accommodations with fellow adventurers. All meals are included and some special dietary needs can be accommodated. The hut features a small shop for snacks and drinks, and showers can be purchased separately.
Wildlife lovers can watch for Arctic foxes and seabirds, while nature photographers will love capturing the magical glacial rivers and misty valleys. Whether you’re chasing adventure or serenity, Þórsmörk promises a soulful escape into Iceland’s raw, untamed beauty.
