Itinerary description

Highlights of the Tour
Colorful mountains
Fantastic Glacier view
A combination of Iceland's best known treks
Seven day hike/trek from hut to hut. Transport vehicle assised for 5 days

By combining two of Iceland’s best known hikes, you get an unbelievable seven day trek through incredibly diverse landscapes. From the famous geothermal area of Landmannalaugar to the ever so popular waterfall of Skógar. This path takes us through it all; over multicolored hills and black sands, alongside small gullies and great canyons, through verdurous valleys, between glamorous glaciers, and past wonderful waterfalls. This is a memorable hike littered with contrasts giving you a chance to absorb the true spirit of this remarkable country. Accommodations will be provided in comfortable mountain huts

Due to this trail's popularity, there is potential for irrepairable damage to the nature that we all enjoy. As environmental stewards in Iceland, we are taking a proactive approach to preserve the trail and the surrounding environment by allocating 1% of the tour price for each passenger to our Environmental Fund. With us, you get to experience this amazing trail and minimize your environmental impact.

Total distance: 78 km. (48 miles)
Altitude: 150 - 1100 m. (490 - 3600 feet)
