Thorsmörk Mountain Reserve also offers accommodation in huts with dorms and a large campsite. These are not bookable online, but only through e-mail and telephone (see info above).
Thorsmörk, is without a doubt, one of Iceland‘s most beautiful and enigmatic natural wonders, visited each summer by hoards of nature thirsty travellers, Icelandic and foreign alike. It is surrounded on all sides by glaciers, mountains and mountain rivers, which can both act as a hindrance but also attribute to genial weather conditions.
ATTENTION* * * * *THE GLACIAL RIVERS ARE DANGEROUS AND NOT EASILY CROSSED. ONLY ALTERED 4X4 TRUCKS WITH EXPERIENCED DRIVERS OR LARGE BUSES SHOULD CROSS THOSE RAGING FORDS. Buses run twice a day, bookings not necessary, easily accessed - see below under "Directions".* * * * * * *
Thorsmörk offers a splendid variety of hikes and trails for everyone. Short, medium and long walks can be found. Through dwarf birch forests, along the turbulent glacial rivers, up hills and mountains or into deep canyons – the options are endless. A very popular and much travelled hike is called the "Laugavegurinn", a 50 km marked trek from Landmannalaugar to Þórsmörk.
A warden is present in Thorsmörk Mountain Hostel from May through September and can be contacted during opening hours, but in cases of emergency 24/7.
Thorsmörk is also open for groups all through winter. Book through e-mail or phone (see info above).
