About the Laugavegur Trail
Beginning in the geothermal valley of Landmannalaugar in the southern highlands, the route heads south past small gorges to the Thórsmörk valley. Arriving at the foot of Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which last erupted in 2010 and whose crater is completely covered by an ice cap, marks one of the many highlights of the trip.
The Laugavegur Trail then crosses the third biggest geothermal zone in the world, where steaming hot springs are dotted through the landscape, over the yellow rhyolite mountains, through black deserts, past great canyons and into the green valley of Thórsmörk.
It is no coincidence that the Laugavegur walk each year attracts travellers from around the world, in addition to being a great favourite amongst locals. Throughout this guided tour you will stay in mountain huts and marvel at the changing landscapes with your fellow walkers and guide.
