The perfect hiking route

In the area between the glaciers of Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull lies this amazing hiking route of Fimmvörðuháls Pass. The trail connects Skógar on the South Coast to Þórsmörk.

Fimmvörðuháls is one of the most amazing things you will find in Iceland and one of the most popular hiking trips. A 22km route and 1,000m of climbing are waiting for the ones deciding to make this incredible hike. Weather can change very quickly and even become dangerous, so it is very important to have appropriate clothes and always remember to be safe.
