Itinerary description
Auðgeng leið er á Bægsli upp Salteyrardal, farið er á toppinn að austanverðu. Auðgengt er einnig af Bægsli að Snjófjallstindi. Þar er farið upp bratta skriðu í austanverðum tindinum. Til baka er skemmtileg leið um Hrossadali niður Austdalinn.
Bægsli 938 m (65°16.025-13°49.867). The easiest route is up Salteyrardalur valley from the old airstrip, making the final climb via the east slope. Another fairly good route takes you along the Austdalur and then Hrossadalir valleys, in which case you ascend the southern slope. It's also easy to walk between Bægsli and Snjófjallstindur.
Snjófjallstindur (named Snjófell on some maps) 1028 m (65°14.757-13°50.121). The direct route starts from the parking area in Austdalur valley. Go up that valley and then into the Hrossadalir valleys (65°15.487-13°49.304), from which you should climb above a line of cliffs in the slope and then maintain your elevation until you can access the peak via the steep scree on its eastern slope. You can also easily walk here from Bægsli.
