About this experience

Mt. Esja is the signature mountain of the capital area and is popular amongst its inhabitants. There are quite a few routes to choose from, our route will be from Mógilsá to Þverfellshorn.

We pick you up and drive to Kollafjörður. We will park the car and start our hike to the top which will take less than 2 hrs. The view from the top is amazing and puts the capital area in a new context.

The hike is suitable both for beginners and experienced hikers

We hope you will leave with the feeling of stillness and being one with nature.

We look forward to walk with you!
