As you traverse from Landmannalaugar’s bubbling geothermal area to the lush, green Þórsmörk valley, you are setting the pace. Trek fast, if it suits you, or slow down and really enjoy the magnificent nature around you. Either way, you will encounter yellow rhyolite mountains, black sand deserts, great canyons, volcanoes and more.

Customer Reviews
“My husband and I recently visited the magical land of Iceland mainly because we are avid hikers and wanted to do the famous Landmannalaugar - Þórsmörk hike. We decided to do the trek version that meant we would be only carrying our daypack during the hike and the rest of our equipment would be transported to the huts we would be spending each night in by jeep each day. It was the first time we hadn't carried all our own equipment, and for me it made the experience more enjoyable…”
