questions
How do I get to Stórhorn?
Stórhorn is in Westfjords. 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.

When is the best time to hike Stórhorn?
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.
