questions

How do I get to Hrútabjörg?
Hrútabjörg is in South Coast. Check live road conditions on this page before you drive — highland trailheads often need a 4×4, and some access roads only open in summer.
Can I hike Hrútabjörg without a guide?

June to September, when snow has cleared from the trails and daylight is long. Winter ascents are serious mountaineering. Always check the forecast on vedur.is before you set out.
