questions

How do I get to Grasgil?

Can I hike in Grasgil?

Many Icelandic valleys have walking routes along the valley floor or up the surrounding slopes. Conditions vary — tell someone your route, check the forecast, and treat highland tracks as serious terrain. There are no staffed facilities in most valleys.
