About this trip
The Laugavegur is perhaps Iceland's most popular multi-day trek. Starting deep in the colorful highlands of Iceland, the trail winds through the mountains south towards the ocean. The trek is packed with otherworldly landscapes and is extremely varied. The trek passes through the colorful rhyolite mountains around Landmannalaugar over infamously windy pass of Hrafntinnusker to the green valley of Álftavatn, straight from paradise. It then passes the moonlight landscape of the Emstrur (Botnar) valley to get to Þórsmörk. The last mountain pass, officially the Fimmvörðuháls trail, passes along several glaciers to 'waterfall alley' where the trail ends at Skógafoss, the most famous waterfall of Iceland.
