This wild, remote, and rugged trail loops through the Westfjords, a peninsula so far off the beaten path that only a fraction of Iceland’s visitors make it here. For those who do, however, the rewards are unforgettable: towering fjords, vast stretches of coastline, and landscapes that range from volcanic rock to lush valleys. Along the way, you’ll encounter tiny fishing villages, natural hot springs, and more sheep than people, all under the magic of Icelandic skies that shift from brooding clouds to clear, star-filled nights. The Westfjords Way is a demanding yet awe-inspiring route that challenges you physically and mentally, but it offers the type of beauty you’ll carry with you long after the journey ends.
