The Backroad to Landmannalaugar
Enjoy the extreme highland landscape filled with glaciers, black lava and hot springs!
The extended section of the Volcanic Trails takes you up to the hills of the exquisite Fjallabak region and to the famous highland oasis Landmannalaugar. Crossing the green mountains reflected in the “Swan lake” we now hit the brightly colored hills of Ljósártungur. We pass by a big “table mountain” into areas of fuming hot springs and boiling mud pools. The trek continues along thick obsidian lava fields entering a more active geothermal area of even more hot springs, before arriving into the extremely bright colors of Landmannalaugar, one of the best-known parts of the Icelandic highlands. Colorful hills, stunning gullies characterize and predominant geothermal activity this part of the trek.

Customer Reviews
“...The group we were travelling with was open, friendly and in good shape. We soon became friends which was also partly thanks to our guide. Arnaud took very good care of the group, so that all of us had a great time. I especially liked the small extra tours to even more beautiful places...All in all, my expectations were exceeded and I would do it again!”
