5-Day Laugavegur Trail Hiking & Camping Tour

This highland route connects Landmannalaugar and Þórsmörk, with the landscape changing quite dramatically each day on the trail. The volcanic lava fields and hot-spring of Landmannalaugar give way to the desolute mountain top Hrafntinnusker. It changes once more as you approach the lush green pastures by Alftavatn lake. This is followed by a long section over the very flat black desert landscape as you make you way towards Emstrur. We finally descend into the birch woodlands of Thorsmork as our hike concludes. It really is remarkable the variety of landscapes you will encounter on the remarkable journey.

With our fully supported guided tour, we take care of all the practical concerns so that you can fully immerse yourself in nature as you tackle the ascents and descents of the hike. Your main gear bag will be shuttled for you from hut to hut, so you only need to carry the bare necessities.

You will stay at campgrounds where your tent will already pitched for you upon your arrival. Our staff will cook nutritious meals for you to keep you energy levels high, essential for any trek.
