Úlfarsfell Hike

About the hike

Nestled just on the outskirts of Reykjavik, Úlfarsfell has always been a favorite for local hikers who want to get a relatively easy and invigorating hike in close to town. Not as imposing as it’s bigger sister Mount Esja, Úlfarsfell makes hiking in Reykjavik easy and accessible, and it’s a perfect way to mix city-sightseeing with a healthy dose of nature. Boasting great views over the city in a beautiful setting, Úlfarsfell is our favorite quick get-aways to supplement the ideal day in Reykjavik.

Come with us, throw your rock on the cairn at the top like all the local hikers before you.
