The flat valley floor between Sandavágur and Miðvágur is about 2.5 kilometres across and makes for a simple, rewarding walk. The villages on either end sit at the valley's margins, and the agricultural land between them — grazed by sheep and crossed by dry-stone walls — feels lived-in and old. The mountains rising on either side channel the prevailing west wind, which is almost always present.
For walkers wanting more elevation, the hillsides above Sandavágur give views over the village, the valley, and on clear days across to Streymoy and the sea. There are no maintained trails, but the grassy slopes are easy to ascend. The views are particularly good in the long evenings of summer when the light comes from the north-west and gives the Faroese landscape its characteristic golden quality.
