Hiking in Iceland is fun

Whether you prefer short walks, easy hikes or long, demanding treks, Iceland is the place to be. It is a landscape full of surprises: here you can see boiling springs and glaciers side by side, colourful mountains, sharp peaked ridges, moss covered lava fields, black sands, fresh lavas, broad glacier outlets, and so much more.

Many well known and less known places to visit

Þingvellir, Geysir, Blue Lagoon, Gullfoss and Mývatn are some of the best known places in Iceland. We also urge you to visit some of the less known but equally beautiful places, that Iceland has to offer. Öræfajökull, Kerlingarfjöll, Víknaslóðir, Hornstrandir, Snæfellsnes, Vatnajökull, Jökulsárgljúfur, Kverkfjöll, Lónsöræfi and Fjallabak are a few of many areas worth visiting.

Iceland is a mountaineering playground

Iceland has great potential for mountain trekking, ski touring, mountain skiing and ice climbing. Trekking Hvannadalshnúkur (2119 m / 6952 ft), the highest peak in Iceland, is by no means easy as the trek sets out just above sea level. Ski touring on Vatnajökull, the biggest ice cap in Europe, is another thing you don't easily forget.
