Description

The four Hrútsfjallstindar peaks form a stunning landscape rising north of the glacier Svínafellsjökull in Iceland. The peaks' highest summit reaches 1875 meters and has inspired many climbing routes. But those who do not have technical climbing abilities can also reach the summit. We invite you to hike the peaks along the less technical alpine trekking route on a memorable day trip.

During this day trekking among the Hrútsfjallstindar peaks, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Öræfajökull massif plus the valley glaciers Skaftafellsjökull and Svínafellsjökull. The trip is comparable to the popular ascent of Hvannadalshnúkur, Iceland's highest mountain. However, this trip actually has better views. Just take a look at some of the photos from the trip! It is a truly majestic scene.

We will ensure that you have an unforgettable experience during this day in the Hrútsfjallstindar peaks. All you have to bring is warm clothing, rain gear, hiking boots, food, and drinks. We'll take care of the rest, making sure you stay safe every step of the way. Ice gear and safety equipment are included in the price of the trek.

The hike lasts from 14 to 16 hours. Though you do not need to have technical mountaineering skills to complete the trek, you do have to have a high level of physical fitness. It is a long and difficult hike. But at the end of the long day you will know how rewarding it is to have climbed the Hrútsfjallstindar peaks**.**

We depart on this hike each Saturday from April 15th to Sep 15 (weather and conditions permitting).

For any questions, more information, or to book your place, please contact us. We'll be waiting!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
