    Hiking Trails

    Iceland, with its unique landscapes, invites visitors and locals alike to go on long hikes and treks. Throughout the island you will find countless routes – longer and shorter – to take on foot. You will successfully choose the ones that best suit your abilities and intentions.

    For more advanced travelers, for example, Stuðlagil Canyon will be a great spot. If, on the other hand, you are keen on relaxation, a short trek to the Reykjadalur valley, culminating in a bath in a natural hot spring, will prove to be an excellent choice.

    The trails lead to massive volcanoes, stunning canyons, high waterfalls or geothermal fields… Regardless of the destination, all around you will be accompanied by images not from this earth, breathtaking at every turn.

    See the most beautiful trekking trails in Iceland and spend your time in a perfect way on many hiking tours.
