After arriving at Keflavík Airport, our shuttle will take you to our base camp near Reykjavík, where you can settle in at your own pace. Shortly afterwards, we’ll hold the pre-trip briefing: our team will walk you through the week’s programme on the Laugavegur Trail, share equipment and safety tips, and give you an overview of your week of hiking in Iceland.

• If you book a camping stay through us, you’ll spend the night here and get to try out your camping equipment for the first time.
• If you book a hostel stay through us (only available if you choose the hut-to-hut option), you’ll spend the night here too.
• If you’re staying elsewhere, we expect you at the base camp around 5:30 pm for the briefing. You’ll return here the next morning before setting off. Our team will share the exact times with you.

After the briefing, you can explore Reykjavík. Ask our team about their favourite spots, and they’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.

Today, you'll set off early in the morning for the starting point of the Laugavegur Trail: Landmannalaugar. You'll be told in advance what time the bus leaves from our base camp. Everyone is expected to be there on time.

After a roughly four-hour bus ride, you'll arrive in Landmannalaugar. It's a magical journey, with moonlike landscapes unfolding on either side of the bus. Welcome to planet Iceland!

Once you arrive, you'll put up your tent and get ready for your first hike. We'll climb Suðurnámur, a peak near Landmannalaugar with panoramic views over the valley. It's the perfect warm-up for a week of hiking in Iceland.

After this first hike, you'll know for sure that the rest of the week won't pass without a bit of muscle soreness. End the day in Landmannalaugar's natural hot spring and let your muscles unwind.

The first day on the Laugavegur Trail is the queen stage. It's the longest hiking day, but also the most diverse.

You’ll follow solidified lava flows and climb about 490 meters in elevation for views over the colorful mountains of Landmannalaugar. Around noon, you'll reach the hut at Hrafntinnusker and might cross your first snowfields and ice bridges.

From this highest point of the trail, you'll mostly descend, with the occasional short steep climb. The scenery changes along the way: from warm colors to dark and green ridges, with glaciers on the horizon. You'll cross two rivers before finally arriving at the lake of Álftavatn, where you'll also camp.

Today, the Laugavegur Trail showcases its variety once again. The green mountains give way to miles of dark lava plains. This day is often referred to by our guides as 'the day of insights.'

You’ll cross several rivers and pass various waterfalls. At the end of the day in Emstrur, you'll have a stunning view of a massive glacier.

Additionally, right near the sleeping area, there’s a breathtaking canyon that’s definitely worth a visit in the evening!

Today’s hike takes you through landscapes that shift from surreal lunar terrain to lush green forests teeming with wildlife and plant life.  You’ll cross one beautiful river and spend most of the day heading downhill.

Please note that Þórsmörk (Thor’s Forest) has two base camps. Tonight, you’ll stay at the Langidalur base camp. It might just be the most beautiful base camp of the week!

Between the valleys of Þórsmörk, you'll find Húsadalur within walking distance of Langidalur. There are several stunning hikes in the area. Depending on your energy level, you can choose a longer route with some highlights or the basic route that takes you to the Húsadalur hut in just 30 minutes.

In Húsadalur, after a few days, you’ll reconnect a bit with civilization. At the hut, you can enjoy a bar, restaurant, and a warm sauna! It's the perfect way to wrap up your week of hiking in Iceland.

On day 7, you return to civilization. We’ll take you back by bus to our basecamp near Reykjavik. In the evening, you'll have the chance to explore Reykjavík. The charming capital has so much to offer! You'll be amazed at how much there is to do in such a small, cozy city!

On the last day, you’ll wake up in Reykjavik and can decide whether to extend your trip a little longer or head home.

If you booked your flights or the shuttle with us, a bus will take you to Keflavík during the night, arriving in plenty of time for your flight home.
