Frequently
asked
questions

How do I book Hornbjargsviti?
Hornbjargsviti is a backcountry hut in Highlands. Booking is handled by the operating touring association — check huts.is for the current reservation system, and book well ahead in summer.
What should I bring to Hornbjargsviti?
Huts provide mattresses but not bedding, so bring a sleeping bag (a liner adds warmth). Pack your own food and a stove — most huts have a shared kitchen but no shop. Cash or a card for the warden, layers for cold nights, and a headtorch.
How do I get to Hornbjargsviti?
Hornbjargsviti is in Highlands. Highland huts often sit on an F-road that needs a 4×4 and only opens in summer, and some are reached on foot along a multi-day trail. Check live road conditions on this page and safetravel.is before you set out, and tell someone your route.
Is there a warden at Hornbjargsviti?
Many Icelandic huts are staffed by a warden in the summer season — a good source on trail conditions and weather. Outside the staffed season huts may be unlocked but unserviced. Never rely on a hut being open or having space without a booking.
