3-DAY WILDERNESS HIKE

Three Days. Three Legendary Trails. One Unforgettable Adventure.

This isn’t just any hiking trip—it’s a journey through three of Iceland’s most breathtaking landscapes. Over three days, you’ll hike:

A section of the famous Laugavegur Trail – think black sand deserts, glacier-fed rivers, and deep canyons.

The best trails in Þórsmörk – lush valleys, birch forests, and ridge views that stretch forever.

The legendary Fimmvörðuháls Pass – a bucket-list trail between glaciers, past volcanic craters, and down to the iconic Skógafoss waterfall.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

Three Full Days of Hiking
No rushing. No shortcuts. Just pure immersion in Iceland’s wild landscapes, with expert guides leading the way.

Mountain Hut Living
Cozy evenings in a remote highland hut, sharing stories over a well-earned dinner. No frills, just the essentials—and that’s what makes it special.

Big Hikes, Big Payoffs
Challenging climbs, rewarding descents, and views that make every step worth it. 

Nature in Every Form
Lava fields, glaciers, waterfalls, canyons, mossy valleys—you’ll see it all. You’ll feel it too. When you are hiking in these unique settings, connection to nature is just about guaranteed.

 

ITINERARY

Day 1: Reykjavík to Þórsmörk – Emstrur Trail

16 km | 430m elevation gain | 6-8 hours

The journey begins with an 8 AM pick-up in Reykjavík before heading straight to the Emstrur trailhead. This section is part of the legendary Laugavegur Trail, known for its dramatic contrasts. Expect deep canyons, black sand plains, and sweeping glacier views as we hike alongside Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull glaciers. After a full day of exploring, we’ll descend into the lush Þórsmörk valley, where a warm meal and relaxation in the mountain hut await.

Day 2: Exploring Þórsmörk

12-14 km | 300m elevation gain | 5-7 hours

After breakfast in the hut, we’ll set out to explore Þórsmörk, a hiker’s paradise. Whether we take on the Tindfjallahringur loop or another stunning trail, the day promises rugged ridges, birch forests, and panoramic glacier views. We’ll have lunch on the trail, take in the peaceful wilderness, and return to the hut for dinner and a peaceful rest.

Day 3: Fimmvörðuháls Hike – Þórsmörk to Skógafoss

 25 km | 1,000m elevation gain | 10-12 hours

The grand finale: the Fimmvörðuháls trail. This is one of Iceland’s most rewarding hikes, climbing between Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers, passing by the newly formed Móði and Magni craters, and descending towards the mighty Skógafoss waterfall. After soaking in the views, we’ll decompress with dinner at Midgard Base Camp before returning to Reykjavík.
