Þórsmörk - Húsadalur




Climate in Thorsmork is unique, because it is a haven surrounded on all sides with glaciers and mountains providing shelter from harsh weather conditions. Weather is therefore often better there than in the neighboring areas. Thorsmork has a diverse flora and magnificent landscapes.

Thorsmork is popular amongst hikers. A lot of different tours are possible, from hiking on the glaciers to trekking (i.e., Laugavegur up to Landmannalaugar) or smaller excursions, such as to the canyon Stakkholtsgja with its waterfall or five small day treks, to the summits of surrounding peaks, with rewarding views, even in bad weather. The Krossa river is a cold fast river coming down from glaciers: a bridge allows pedestrians to cross. There are daily coach arrivals, from Reykjavík and other towns in Iceland.

Excited yet?  You are always welcome to Iceland.

Here you can book all kinds of great daytours and excursions and plan your whole vacation during your stay in Iceland.

Regards,
Welcome to Iceland
