Additional Information
Iceland is now firmly established as one of the best, most dramatic trekking
destinations. The variety of landscapes has been created over the centuries
by volcanic eruptions and gigantic glaciers. One of the most popular trails
is known as the Laugavegur Trail, and this is the focus of our week. All
meals are included while camping, and we start in the colourful
Landmannalaugar Mountains before heading to the dramatic Thorsmork region
where we discover the craters from the 2010 eruption. Few trekking routes
can match the striking vistas on offer here.
In addition, the early departures offer long days, up to 24hrs daylight in
July, while the late August and early September departures bring with them
some darkness and with that the chance to see the Northern Lights.
