Private Þórsmörk Hike From Selfoss
From May 15th To October 31st
Explore Þórsmörk – The Valley of Thor
Nestled between three glaciers—Tindfjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, and the infamous Eyjafjallajökull (which erupted in 2010)—Þórsmörk, or “Thor’s Forest,” is one of Iceland’s most cherished natural treasures.
For many Icelanders, Þórsmörk holds a special place in their hearts, offering a sense of tranquility and wonder like no other. Its untouched volcanic landscapes, glacial rivers, and lush greenery create a unique atmosphere that must be experienced to be believed.
What to Expect
Þórsmörk is Icelandic nature at its finest. Our tour focuses on one main hike for the day, allowing you to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of the area. The hike will take you through diverse terrain, from uneven paths to more challenging slopes, with views that will leave you in awe. Depending on your group’s preferences and fitness level, we’ll choose the perfect route to suit everyone’s abilities.
