Snæfellsskáli

Snæfellsskáli is located in a unique environment by the mountain Snæfell, which is the highest mountain in Iceland outside of the glaciers. There is accommodation for approximately 45 people, as well as a camping area, flush toilets, and showers. A park ranger welcomes guests during the summer season. It is possible to stay at Snæfellsskáli year-round, but note that the road to the hut is often not passable until early July. During winter, it is possible to reach the hut with special modified vehicles (Super-jeeps) when the ground is snow-covered and frozen. In winter, there is no running water in the hut. Flush toilets and showers are not in use then, but a dry toilet is available.

Real Experiences from Satisfied Guests

"As an Icelander living in Sweden, I always wanted to show my Swedish friends the magic of the Icelandic highlands—but I had no idea how to book the huts. Before huts.is, it felt impossible. Now it’s not just doable—it’s easy. We found our perfect spot in the mountains and had an amazing time"
