Perched above the village of Funningur on Eysturoy, the Hvíthamar hike is one of the Faroe Islands’ most accessible yet rewarding walks. The trail gently climbs to a viewpoint overlooking the fjord, with wide-open mountain scenery unfolding at every turn. It’s the kind of short hike that delivers big views, making it a perfect stop for travellers wanting a taste of Faroese hiking without a full-day commitment.

Hidden on Suðuroy’s rugged southern coast, Hvannhagi is one of the Faroe Islands’ most rewarding hikes. The trail leads through rolling green terrain to the serene Hvannavatn Lake, set beneath towering cliffs with sweeping views out to the Atlantic and the iconic sea stack of Lítla Dímun. Remote, peaceful, and strikingly beautiful, this walk offers a true taste of the Faroes’ wild character.

Saksun Church and Beach are set within a natural amphitheatre of steep mountains in the remote village of Saksun on Streymoy. The small white church overlooks a tidal lagoon formed by a historic storm, and a short walk beyond the village leads to the black sand beach where the lagoon meets the Atlantic. With towering cliffs, shifting tides, and near-total isolation, Saksun offers one of the Faroe Islands’ most distinctive and atmospheric landscapes.

Klakkur rises above Klaksvík in the northern Faroe Islands and is reached by a steady hike starting just outside town. As the trail climbs through open slopes, views gradually unfold over Klaksvík and the sound between Borðoy and Kunoy. From the summit, the landscape opens toward Kalsoy, Kunoy’s steep ridges, and the surrounding fjords, offering a calm yet striking panorama of the northern islands.

Drangarnir is a dramatic sea stack rising from the North Atlantic off the rugged coast of Vágar in the Faroe Islands. The experience begins with a short boat transfer that drops hikers at a remote landing point along the coast. From there, a rewarding hike leads across rolling green hills and exposed cliff paths toward the viewpoint overlooking Drangarnir. Along the way, sweeping ocean views, sheer cliffs, and powerful Atlantic swells immerse visitors in the raw, untamed landscapes that define the Faroe Islands.
