Icelandic Lava Trek

  • 5 days

Icelandic Lava Trek

 

Home to some of Europe’s most incredible landscapes, the Iceland Lava Trek takes in thundering waterfalls, steaming lava fields, plunging fjords and spouting geysers. Crossing the phenomenal Landmannalaugar, the route is through one of the most actively volcanic and alien landscapes in Iceland, providing awe-inspiring views at every step.

 

The duration may be short, but the days are long and the terrain is very challenging, with steep climbs and rough descents. In addition, you’ll also be in charge of setting up and breaking down camp, making this a truly tough challenge. But don’t fear - on completing your challenge you have the chance rest aching limbs in the Sky Lagoon.

 

What you can expect on this trip

  • Trek 58kms through one of the planet’s most volcanic regions
  • Weave through vast steaming lava fields
  • Walk against a background of multi-coloured rocks
  • Camp in some of Europe’s most spectacular and unusual terrain
  • Bathe aching limbs in the Sky Lagoon

Important Information about this trip

The Icelandic Lava Trek is graded as “tough”. This is a challenge that will test you both physically and mentally. It is for participants who are of an adventurous spirit and an open mind, but perhaps haven’t taken on a strenuous challenge event previously and are hoping to put themselves out of their comfort zone! 

 

On your Icelandic Lava Trek you will be:

 

  • Trekking for around 7-10 hours per day.
  • Covering approximately 60km across 3 days of hiking, with the longest day being 24 km.
  • Battling the elements in the highlands of Iceland, as you may experience rain that lasts all day, blazing sunshine or snow and fog on top of the mountains
  • Taking on lots of steep hill climbs, particularly on the first day.
  • Putting up your own tent each night and dismantling it in the morning. You will also be helping to wash up after each meal, and making your sandwiches in the morning, in a more interactive camping experience!
