Grænihryggur Hiking Trail – Guided

GREEN RIDGE 

Grænihryggur or “Green Ridge” in English is exactly what it claims to be. A ridge of the most incredible green colour that seems almost too unnatural to be found in the middle of the highlands. But this is Iceland, so expect the unexpected. One of the most colourful areas of the entire island are Landmannalaugar, known for their colourful rhyolite mountains, glaciers and magical green moss. This vast, colourful and untouched wilderness in the highlands is a popular area among hikers and recently, hikes to Green Ridge have become increasingly popular. This hike travels through this otherworldly landscape of ridges, canyons and glaciers, with Green Ridge as its ultimate destination. The hike itself is expected to take approx. 8 hours and includes some wading so pack appropriately (warm clothes, towel, plenty of food and a camera) and enjoy the scenery.
