The Fimmvörðuháls hiking trail, from Skógar to Þórsmörk, is one of Iceland’s best-known hiking routes. This Fimmvörtuháls einkadagsgönguferð takes you through spectacular waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic landscapes, mountain passes, and the beautiful Þórsmörk valley.
Our day begins at the impressive 60-meter-high Skógafoss, where we start our approximately 25-kilometer hike towards Þórsmörk. From there, the trail follows the Skógá River and passes a series of beautiful waterfalls. As we climb higher, the landscape changes dramatically as we make our way between the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull.
Along the way, you can experience the volcanic landscape created during the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption. The route passes the volcanic craters Móði and Magni, formed during the eruption. From this high mountain area, we then begin our descent towards Þórsmörk, with spectacular views across Iceland’s rugged highlands.
One of the highlights of the Fimmvörðuháls trail is “Waterfall Way,” where numerous waterfalls follow the Skógá River. The route then continues towards the site of the 2010 eruption, which famously disrupted air travel across Europe.
As you continue across the mountain pass, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic. The trail passes through rugged volcanic terrain, deep canyons, and eventually reaches the lush Þjóðverjastalurinn. On a clear day, you may see glaciers, volcanoes, valleys, and vast Highland landscapes stretching across southern Iceland.
After completing the hike, we meet our Super Jeep guide in Þórsmörk. From there, we begin the drive back towards Skógar. This scenic journey gives you a chance to experience even more of the area’s remarkable landscapes without having to retrace the hiking trail.
During the drive, we pass Gígjökull glacier, where enormous glacial floods flowed down from the Eyjafjallajökull area following the 2010 eruption. We also cross the vast floodplain of the Markarfljót River before continuing towards the south coast.
Before returning to Skógar, we make a stop at Seljalandsfoss. This famous waterfall is one of Iceland’s most recognizable natural attractions and provides a memorable final stop after a challenging day in the mountains.
The Fimmvörðuháls trail starts right beside Skógafoss. A long series of steps leads to the top of the waterfall. Take a moment to catch your breath and enjoy the view before continuing into the mountains for an unforgettable day of hiking.
Athugið: Depending on weather and trail conditions, the hike may be operated from Þórsmörk to Skógar instead.
The average hiking time is around 8–10 hours, although the exact duration depends on weather, trail conditions, and the group’s pace. Some hikers complete the route in less than 8 hours, while others may need up to 12 hours.
Þetta private Fimmvörðuháls day hike is an excellent way to experience one of Iceland’s most spectacular mountain trails while combining the hike with a Super Jeep journey through Þórsmörk.
Gönguferðin um Fimmvörtuháls, frá Skógar til Þórsmörks, er ein þekktasta gönguleið Íslands. Við byrjum daginn á 60 m háum Skógarfossfossi, þar sem við byrjum 25 kílómetra gönguferð okkar í átt að Þjóðersmörk. Gönguleiðin liggur meðfram Skóga og mörgum fossum hennar og upp á milli jöklanna tveggja, Eyjafjallajökuls og Mýrdalsmönkull. Það verður nýlegt hraunrennsli frá upphafi eldgossins 2010 á Fimmvörati og Márt.
Niðri í Þórsmörkdalnum er þar sem við hittum Super-Jeep leiðsögumanninn okkar og byrjum að stefna frá Þórsmörk. Í akstrinum til baka til Skógar munum við sjá Gígjalakull jökulinn þar sem mest af flóðunum frá Eyjafjallajökli 2010 gosinu kom niður og hið mikla flóðasvæði Markarfljótfljóts. Áður en við komum til Skógar munum við stoppa við Seljalandsfoss fossinn áður en við kveðjum síðast Þjóðsmöll.*
Athugið: fer eftir ástandi, ferðin gæti verið rekin frá ÞÓRsmörk til Skógar.
Fundarstaður er við Hamragarð Tjaldstæði (Gljúfrabúnafoss, við hlið Seljalandsfoss)
