After starting in Landmannalaugar, we continue our tour through the Icelandic highlands. On our way, we admire obsidian fields, colorful mountains, black sands, and icy blue glaciers. The Laugavegur trail ends in Thorsmörk, a green valley nestled below the famous Eyjafjallajökull glacier.

During this 4-day trekking tour, you'll experience some of the best things Icelandic nature has to offer: volcanoes, glaciers, lava fields, and geothermal hot springs. The track is well-maintained, and you'll ensure your safety every step of the way, as well as point out the best spots for you, explain the scenery around you, and tell Iceland's geological history.
