Message from Perlan - Wonders of Iceland

Mount Esja is an unforgettable, breathtaking experience that every visitor to Reykjavík should add to their itinerary. Standing 914m tall, the mountain provides a dramatic backdrop to the capital, and offers plenty of opportunity for exploration and adventure. There are several well-worn hiking trails of varying difficulty ranging from gentle walks, to more challenging routes. Experienced climbers can choose to ascend directly to the peak for incredible views, or you can enjoy practically on the lower slopes. Wherever you go, make sure you take appropriate precautions and take advice on weather conditions before attempting the climb. The majestic beauty of Mount Esja as you explore its hills and valleys will certainly be worth the effort!
