Why people feel lighter after visiting

Discover Why You’ll Feel Lighter After Visiting Westfjords & West Iceland

Stepping off the beaten path into stunning landscapes, you’ll notice an immediate shift in your mood and mindset. At Ourhotels.is, we’ve created a network of cozy inns designed to help you unwind, reconnect with nature, and leave everyday worries behind.

Why the Westfjords & West Iceland Lift Your Spirits

• Pure, crisp air fills your lungs and clears your mind.
• Wide-open vistas encourage reflection and calm.
• Simple routines—hot springs, gentle hikes, local meals—bring balance.
• Digital detox opportunities mean deeper sleep and restored energy.

Where to Stay: Embrace Local Charm

Ourhotels.is offers unique properties that blend Icelandic character with modern comforts. Hvítá Inn in Borgarfjörður (just a short drive from Borgarnes) sits beside the roaring Hvítá river, perfect for riverside walks and cozy evenings by the fireplace. For a taste of the North, Ísafjörður Inn in Ísafjörður places you in the heart of the Westfjords, ideal for exploring fjords and birdlife.

Top Activities to Lift Your Mood

• Soak in natural hot pools: nature’s stress relief.
• Hike to Hidden Waterfalls: Dynjandi and Hraunfossar await.
• Wildlife spotting: puffins, seals, and arctic foxes.
• Kayak fjords or join a boat tour to see glaciers up close.
• Stroll coastal villages like Stykkishólmur for art, history, and fresh seafood.

When to Go

Summer (June–August) offers midnight sun, lush valleys, and easy hiking. Shoulder seasons (May & September) bring fewer crowds and brilliant autumn colors. Winter (October–March) is perfect for northern lights and snowy landscapes—just pack warm layers.

What to Pack

• Waterproof outer layers and sturdy hiking boots
• Warm base layers, hat, gloves, scarf
• Swimwear for hot pools
• Camera or smartphone for spectacular scenery
• Daypack with water bottle and snacks

How Long to Stay

Plan for at least 3 nights to unwind, explore must-see spots, and feel truly rejuvenated. A 5–7 day itinerary lets you venture deeper into hidden valleys and remote fjords without rushing.
