Discover one of the world's most beautiful hiking trails, where a new, awe-inspiring scene is around every bend!


One of National Geographic's 20 best treks in the world, the Laugavegur Trail stretches for some 55km across the Southern Icelandic highlands encompassing some of the most breathtaking scenery the incredible island has on offer.

From rainbow-hued mountains to geothermal springs, picturesque waterfalls, lush canyons, glaciers, and charcoal-black lava fields, this unique trail truly has it all, it's easy to see why it was rumoured to be the inspiration behind J.R.R Tolkien's Middle Earth!

Our Pick



Faq?

Although some hikers complete the trail in just 2 days, we recommend between 3 and 4 days.

Although the trail can be challenging, reasonably fit hikers with some trekking experience should have no issues completing it.

Mid-June through to early September offers the best weather conditions, though even during this period, at times, you can expect it to be cold, wet, and windy.

There are mountain huts and campsites along the trail most of which are run by the Icelandic Touring Association, Ferðafélag Íslands.
