Stepman

Hafjall provides bespoke outdoor activities in private groups, from easy hikes on or off the glacier to serious mountaineering activities. Individual photographers will appreciate the flexibility they need to achieve their vision, and we can also assist photography workshops to create an unique experience for all participants. Small groups. Big memories. Our company name Háfjall was a bit difficult to pronounce and remember, so we have registered stepman as a trade name that is both easier to remember and also emphasizes the personal character – if you book with us, you're guaranteed to have Stephan as your guide. Simple as that.
