Skessuhorn

Skessuhorn is one of the most distinctive mountains in West Iceland. Its sharp summit rises prominently from the Skardsheidi mountain range.

The mountain is popular with experienced hikers, although routes towards the summit can be demanding and conditions may change quickly.

For a broader journey through the region, this stop can be combined with places such as Krauma and Hvammsvík Hot Springs. Access, weather and local conditions can vary during the year, so current information should be checked when planning a visit.
