Our story

Fálkaklettur Via Ferrata is built and operated by Fjallafélagið – The Icelandic Mountain Company. Founded in 2010, Fjallafélagið began its journey by organizing guided climbs on Hvannadalshnjúkur, Iceland’s highest peak. Since then, the company has grown and flourished, leading hundreds of hiking and climbing adventures both in Iceland and around the world. Among our international destinations are Everest Base Camp, Kilimanjaro, the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Japan, the Tour du Mont Blanc, and the Dolomites, to name a few. Our vision has always centered on safety, challenge, and unforgettable experiences.

From Alpine Adventures to Icelandic Heights – Fálkaklettur was born

Over the years, via ferrata climbing became a favorite highlight of many Fjallafélagið tours abroad. Inspired by those experiences, the idea emerged to create a via ferrata in Iceland — a place where locals and visitors could feel the same excitement close to Reykjavík. That vision became Fálkaklettur, a unique via ferrata route on Mt. Esja, offering breathtaking views over the ocean and Reykjavík city.

Fálkaklettur reviews

This is what people are saying

“Adventure and beautiful views.”

I highly recommend the Fálkaklettur Via Ferrata near Reykjavik if you and your family like climbing, adventure and beautiful views. I easily booked the standard climb (about 2.5 – 3 hrs) online for me and my 18 yr old twin daughters.

“Thrilling and rewarding”

A complete beginner with serious height issues came down from Fálkaklettur with a giant smile — the Via Ferrata is a thrilling and very rewarding experience! The climb was a real workout, both physically and mentally, but the payoff is incredible!

“Very helpful guide.”

Beautiful experience! Recommend for a beginner and more advanced people. If you like adventure you need to try it. Biers from a top are amazing. Route is well prepared and equipment in a good condition. Our guide Elli was very helpful.
