Description

This is the steeper, more challenging route from Arnastapi to the peak of Snæfellsjökull.

This is the route when you cross many crevasses so you have to make sure they are well covered with snow.

I say its difficult only because of the length and potential risk on glacier area, so you need to prepare for a long hike up. I've summited on this route 1st of March 2024. You can check out my safer, but longer route "Snæfellsjökull Winter I" You can check the reels on my Instagram to get more familiar with the surrounding area, I love this climbe, this is the highest peak in the area and you have ocean view North, South and West! @michalrypina
