Hiking the valley of mighty Thor, the Thunder God, explores a wilderness of outstanding panoramic views whilst breathing fresh mountain air.
Surrounded by Mýrdalsjökull, Tindfjallajökull and Eyjafjallajökull, icecaps sitting atop volcanoes, this is a day to refresh the soul and greatly enhance your wellness.
We also stop off at some beautiful sceneries along the way into/out of Þórsmörk, including Gígjökull, an Eyjafjallajökull outlet glacier from where a major glacial flood grandly cascaded during the 2010 eruption.
Þórsmörk is a habitat for various wildlife species, including the Arctic fox, one of Iceland’s few native land mammals. If you visit Þórsmörk, you might have the chance to catch a glimpse of these Arctic foxes roaming the area
The hike is around 8-10 km, or 3-4 hours.
Please note: No hiking experience is needed but you need to be fit enough to hike for 3-4 hours and the stamina to hike up mountains. The path is uneven at times and the route takes you uphill and downhill.
Book now and join a tour with a small group of fellow travelers or send us a request for a private day tour.
