West Iceland

Snæfellsnes offers a varied and magical landscape. The peninsula is about 90 km long, adorned with a high and often rugged mountain range, which has been shaped by volcanic eruptions and glacial erosion. At the far end of the mountain range sits the mysterious Snæfellsjökull glacier surrounded by the Snæfellsjökull National Park. On Snæfellsnes, you can find natural springs, white beaches, lively bird cliffs, fun villages and towns. Surf and islands, unique hiking trails and varied recreational activities make a trip to Snæfellsnes truly an adventure.
