Tell someone your plan (or file one at safetravel.is), carry a charged phone and layers, check the forecast, and turn back if fog, wind or rising rivers set in. Don’t rely on phone signal.
When is the best time to hike Kerhólakambur-Þverfellshorn?
Kerhólakambur-Þverfellshorn climbs about 906 m, so snow lingers on it later than on lowland trails. Most Icelandic hiking is a June–September activity, when trails are snow-free and daylight is long. Highland routes open later and close earlier; check road and trail status before committing.
