Our take
The Smyril Line ferry terminal is 500 metres from Snæfell, which makes it the obvious bed for travellers arriving or leaving by sea through Seyðisfjörður. A fjord-view terrace and an à la carte restaurant cover the evening, and hiking and skiing are close. Travellers on a tight Ring Road schedule should weigh the 28 km mountain pass from Egilsstaðir, which can close in winter storms.
Why we love it
- Proximity to the Smyril Line Ferry Terminal
- Shared terrace with striking fjord views
- On-site à la carte restaurant
- Easy access to hiking and skiing
Why guests love itSnæfell sits in Seyðisfjörður, 500 metres from the Smyril Line ferry terminal at the head of the fjord in East Iceland, reached over a mountain pass on Route 93 from Egilsstaðir. Rooms have private bathrooms, and the shared terrace looks over the water. Our editorial advice for families: eat at the à la carte restaurant, walk the colourful village and the harbour, and check the pass forecast before driving back out.
