National park. The scenery around Skaftafell is full of stark contrasts. The various glacial tongues are flanked by jagged mountains, with the glacier-topped peak of Hvannadalshnjúkur rising highest.

Skaftafell is part of Vatnajökull national park. The area is magnificent with numerous outlet glaciers, beautiful waterfalls and scenic views. Here is a great variety of hiking trails from easy family friendly hikes to more strenuous hikes. Recommendations: Hike up to Svartifoss waterfall, Sjónarnípa trail and Kristínartindar trail. There are also great options to go on glacier hikes and ice-climbing trips on the outlet glacier in the park, incredible landscapes and beautiful scenes. We would recommend Icelandic Mountain Guides.
