Iceland: Fimmvörðuháls & Laugavegur Trail

Experience one of Iceland's most extraordinary long-distance trekking adventures, combining two of the country's most celebrated hiking routes into one unforgettable six-day journey. Beginning beneath the spectacular Skógafoss waterfall on Iceland's southern coast, our route follows the dramatic Fimmvörðuháls trail before joining the world-famous Laugavegur Trail and continuing north towards the colourful volcanic mountains of Landmannalaugar. Over approximately 80 kilometres, we'll travel through an astonishing variety of landscapes, from cascading waterfalls and snow-covered mountain passes to ancient lava fields, black volcanic deserts, deep glacial valleys and steaming geothermal landscapes. This is a genuine wilderness trekking experience. Carrying our equipment and camping along the route, we'll encounter exposed mountain terrain, challenging river crossings, remote highland environments and some of the most remarkable scenery Iceland has to offer. Unlike the more commonly travelled north-to-south Laugavegur route, our adventure travels south to north, allowing us to finish among the spectacular rhyolite mountains and geothermal features of Landmannalaugar. Led by an experienced mountain leader, this adventure offers a rewarding combination of physical challenge, wilderness exploration and the opportunity to experience Iceland's incredible volcanic landscape on foot.
