This valley combine everything that make an unforgettable bikepacking ride. Fantastic scenery with snowy peaks, lush green valley, friendly river crossings, with black sand beach, feeling of remoteness like beyond the edges of the know world...
Worth the trip, but definitely an adventure ! Be prepared for staying a night in a ruff environment, bring spare food and navigation devices, even if the weather forecast seems good. The nearest help is at least 5 hrs away by car, keep that in mind when you come here ;-) ...

Cykling

Note for cyclists : From Gil skáli (moutain hut), just past the bridge to Hvalvatnsfjörður you have to choose between a single track or to continue on the main path.
This single track is only suitable for hikers and experienced riders, either with full suspension and hard tail bikes with large volume tires. If you are bikepacking, the weight will make it very difficult, prefer the main path.
