Helgrindur

Helgrindur is a rugged mountain range on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

Sharp peaks and deep passes make the range one of the most dramatic mountain landscapes in West Iceland.

Mountain conditions in Iceland can change quickly with weather and visibility. Hikers should choose routes to suit current conditions, carry suitable equipment and stay on safe, established lines where possible.
