A wonderful summer on the glacier

We had another fantastic season in 2022, with crazy ice conditions and some absoultely stunning days on the glacier! Thanks to all of our wonderful customers that came to join us up there this year!

Crazy snow but good for the glacier!

We are experiencing lots of snowfall at the moment and despite the very difficult travel conditions, we are happy that the mighty Snæfellsjökull gets some much needed snow on the glacier! Excited for summer times

Half day tours

We are so excited for this Summer season! We have plenty of exciting departures ready for our guests and this year we will be running a variety of half-day tours, which make the perfect activities for those who prefer a shorter hike.

The half-day hikes will be our classic mountain base hike, a perfect taste of Snæfellsjökull and some incredible views. For the Geology lovers we have the Secrets Under the Lava hike, where our team takes you on an exciting coastal hike to find hidden geological gems. And later in the Summer, we will be offering an ice-walk, perfect to see the beauty of the glacial ice whilst playing on the frozen landscape.

Join us and experience Snæfellsnes the sustainable way!

Happy first day of Summer! - Sumardagurinn fyrsti

Today is the Icelandic first day of Summer, also know as Sumardagurinn fyrsti. This day, celebrated every year on the first Thursday after the 18th of April, traditionally marks the start of the Summer season. It dates from the 9th century, when Iceland used the old Norse calendar that had only two seasons: Winter, and Summer. The first day of Summer was celebrated after the long winter to welcome the longer and warmer days ahead.

Nowadays, it's a national holiday, celebrated with parades and other activities and children usually receive a summer gift.

We are very excited for the upcoming season and we look forward to plety of hikes and adventures on Snæfellsjökull glacier and other corners of Iceland!
