Vørðufelli, Mountain peak near Sørvágur, Faroe Islands

Vørðufelli is a mountain on Vágar island that rises 284 meters above sea level. It forms a natural geological shape on the northern coast with steep slopes and rocky terrain.

The name combines Faroese felli, a small mountain (related to English 'fell'), with vørða, a birdwatching term for a group of five puffins. Vørðufelli is the fifth mountain on the north side of Sørvágsfirði, which explains the name. It stands 284 metres above sea level above the village of Sørvágur, between Húsadalur, Vága and Vatnsdalur, near Klovin.

The name Vørðufelli comes from vørða, a Faroese birdwatching term for a group of five puffins, because the peak is the fifth mountain on the north side of Sørvágsfirði. The second element, felli, means a small mountain, related to the English 'fell'.

Several hiking trails from Sørvágur village lead to the summit for most visitors to attempt. The routes offer good views across surrounding valleys and the ocean, especially on clear days.

Specific wind patterns develop between Húsadalur and Vatnsdalur valleys that attract numerous seabirds. The rocky edges regularly host nesting birds, particularly during breeding season.
