All Around The Year Since 1994!

We organize trips to Ingólfshöfði nature
reserve
and to Hvannadalshnúkur Iceland's highest peak
or something there between!
From Coast To Mountains
Travel service
is a small tour company located in Öræfi in southeast
Iceland, at the foot of Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe
(see info about Oraefi).
FROM COAST TO MOUNTAINS organizes wide range of tours for people who wish to
experience the glaciers and mountains of southeast Iceland on foot all year
round!
To achieve this, we hike, climb or ski, with aid of crampons, snowshoes or
skis, and the destination can be a short visit to glacier close to the hotel
(Ice Tour)
or full day ski ascent of Iceland’s highest mountain,
Hvannadalshnúkur (Mountain Tour),
or something between!
In the summer we concentrate on the increasingly popular
bird watching trip with tractor drawn hay wagon to Ingólfshöfði Nature Reserve (Coast
Tour).
We take around 5 thousand people there each summer. We offer an easy
Kayak Tour on the waters of
Hofsnes also.

Einar on Hvannadalshnúkur for the 222nd time on 10th of May
2007.
- My name is Einar Rúnar Sigurðsson and I
manage the tour company "From Coast To Mountains" my wife Matthildur Unnur Þorsteinsdóttir. We live on the farm
Hofsnes in the county Öræfi, but Öræfi has been the residence of my family for
at least 600 years. My father
Sigurður Bjarnason started to do a bird watching trip to Ingólfshöfði
in 1991, when he gave up
sheep farming and found a new use for his hay cart.
In the spring 1994
I started to guide people up to
the top of Iceland's highest mountain, Hvannadalshnúkur. Now I have
been 249 times on the top of
Hvannadalshnúkur (since 9th of February 2010) wich is a
world record.
Since 2000 when I married Matthildur Unnur (or Matta) she and
me have been doing
more and more of the trips to Ingólfshöfði, but at the same time my father
is retiring. He is now almost 78 years old so he deserves to take it easy. Now
the third generation is starting to work in the company. Our oldest son Aron
Franklín (19 years old) is helping me and Matta doing the trips.
