The highest mountain in the Faroes sits just southwest of Gjogv, a pyramid of grass and scree visible from most of northern Eysturoy. The standard route up starts from the pass between Eidi and Funningur and takes about two hours each way — steep but not technical, mostly on grass with a rocky scramble near the top.
The view from the summit on a clear day is the best in the country: most of the eighteen islands are visible at once, with the open Atlantic in all directions. Clear days are rare, though. Check the forecast and start early — by mid-morning cloud usually closes in.
