The best time to visit Sorvagur, and the Faroe Islands in general, is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its mildest and the days are long.
During this period, you'll experience the most comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), and the highest chance of clear skies. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking to famous viewpoints such as Trælanípa, where the lake appears to hang over the ocean, or exploring the village of Gásadalur and its iconic Múlafossur waterfall. The extended daylight hours, sometimes lasting close to 20 hours, allow for more sightseeing and exploration.
Travelers who enjoy birdwatching will find early summer, particularly June and July, an excellent time to visit. This is when many migratory bird species, including puffins, are nesting in the cliffs around Vágar, offering prime viewing opportunities. Boat tours departing from Sorvagur to areas like Mykines, a key bird sanctuary, are readily available during these months.
While summer is peak season, meaning more visitors and slightly higher prices, it undeniably offers the most favorable conditions for experiencing the natural beauty and activities around Sorvagur.
