Inga Fanney Travels Goes to Útilív Adventure Festival

Overview

Marooned in the North Atlantic Ocean in between Norway and Iceland, the Faroe Islands provide a dramatic backdrop to the exhilarating activities of Útilív Adventure Festival. The first ever running, adventure & music-based festival to be held on the Faroe Islands, this invigorating adventure combines high-octane activities such as trail running, rock climbing, kayaking and mountaineering with an exquisitely remote setting. Either side of the 13km, 21km, 42km and 70km trail runs, you’ll have access to pre- and post-raceparties, adventure film screenings, local Faroese cuisine—think cinnamon rolls and the freshest seafood you’ve ever tasted—among other epic adventures. Hike nature trails peppered with knife-edge ridges and awe-inspiring waterfalls; run ancient paths between remote farms, peaks and lakes; and immerse yourself in a line-up of inspirational talks & adventure films. Throughout the weekend, Little Big Adventures are on hand to organise adventure activities ranging from self-guided and guided hikes to wild camping, packrafting, wild swims, kayaking, sailing & surfing. Sustainability is at the beating heart of the festival, which features a communal beach clean in partnership with a local charity and talks that focus on the intersection of crucial environmental issues and outdoor adventures.
