This hike is in the highlands of Iceland from Landmannalaugar to Thormsork. It’s 34 miles (55km) long with 1600 ft (500m) of elevation. You can do it anywhere from 2-4 days depending on how far you want to go each day.
There are 6 total campsites along the way with sleeping huts, cooking areas, toilets, and even warm showers. There are a lot of logistics in planning this one especially since you have to arrange shuttles to and from the start and end and carry all your food on the trail. It can be overwhelming to plan alone so there are group hiking trips with if you don’t want to stress about the logistics.
This was truly the most beautiful hike I’ve completed in Iceland, the weather can make it brutal but WOW it’s gorgeous and unlike any part of Iceland I’ve seen before. It’s only possible to hike this trail from June 25-Sept 15.
Would you be brave enough to try this hike in Iceland?? Or would you rather but up for a road trip??
