Operado por Lilja Tours
Sobre esta experiencia
The trip to Thórsmörk (the valley of Thór) is a fun adventure as it requires crossing rivers with our modified 4x4 jeep and includes visiting a lush green ravine with waterfalls and a beautiful canyon as well as an impressive and unique looking glacier.
Thórsmörk is well known for it´s beautiful hiking trails, starting from birch forests in the lower valley and continuing up hundreds of meters to the surrounding mountains.
About the tourWhen approaching the area of Thórsmörk, and entering to the mountain roads, our first visit will be to the Nauthúsagíl ravine where you will get your feet wet, but it is well worth it!
We will then continue towards an ash covered Gígjökull glacier, an outlet of Eyjafjallajökull.
Shortly before entering the valley of Thór, we will visit the enchanting Stakkholtsgjá canyon, which has a gravel walking path and is sure to spark your imagination to think about elves and trolls inhabiting the area.
Next we arrive to the hiking area, that offers multiple options depending on your wishes and fitness level. Some paths are easier and more flat, some are more challenging as they require ascending up and descending down the mountains. We strongly recommend the Valahnúkur hike, which is relatively short, albeit steep, and offers amazing 360° views across Thórsmörk. Your guide will listen to and adapt to your wishes regarding the hikes in the area.
