Faroe Islands Slættaratindur

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Slættaratindur, translated as “flat summit”, is the highest mountain in the Faroe Islands, towering at 880 metres. On a clear day, all 18 islands of the Faroe Islands can be viewed from the top (some claim that Iceland’s Vatnajökull mountain can also be seen!). On June 21, the longest day of the year, it is tradition to climb Slættaratindur and watch the sun set and rise again.

There are two points from which to start climbing to reach the summit; the first, from Gjógv, takes about four hours of hiking; the second, from Eiðisskarð, takes under an hour.

Photography Tips

A good tripod and standard zoom like 24-105.
