The Laugavegur Hiking Trail is Iceland’s most famous hiking trail and truly one of the world’s most beautiful treks as described by National Geographic. The trail connects the Landmannalaugar and Þórsmörk Nature Reserves and offers a variety of different landscapes along the way. Every day has different views with beautiful scenery of pristine nature with volcanic mountains, lava fields, glaciers, natural hot springs, black arctic deserts and lush forested valleys.

Accommodation along the trail is provided in rustic mountain huts and camping grounds in addition to private accommodation in the Laugavegur Expedition Trucks by the Álftavatn Trail Post midway on the trail where you will also find a small restaurant.

Most people start the trek in Landmannalaugar and finish in Þórsmörk Nature Reserve. Extending the trek by adding the treks in Þórsmörk and across the Fimmvörðuháls Trail all the way to Skógar, south of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano and Glacier are also possible.
