Varmahlíð is a peaceful village nestled in the scenic north of Iceland, surrounded by sweeping valleys, green farmlands, and rolling mountains. This charming spot is a hidden gem for nature lovers and adventure seekers, offering breathtaking landscapes, quiet hospitality, and unique outdoor experiences all year round.

A Brief History

Founded in the early 20th century, Varmahlíð developed from a simple farmstead into a welcoming community, thanks to its natural hot springs and strategic location by the main ring road. Over the years, it has become a gateway for exploring the wonders of northern Iceland, keeping its small-village charm intact.

Best Time to Visit
