Landmannalaugar Week-End Winter Adventure

The Fjallabak Nature Reserve in the South Highlands is the location of some of the most beautiful scenery in Iceland. In additionits proximity and accessibility make it an ideal location for a two-day winter adventure. Our route takes us on a super jeep ride past volcanoes, mountains, hills and craters that in winter are covered with a beautiful snow blanket, into Landmannalaugar, the valley of Hot Springs, where the striking contrast between ice and fire creates a magical world. Staying overnight next to a natural warm river makes this the perfect place forr a relaxing bath under the stars. And who knows, maybe the Aurora Borealis will come out and decorate the winter sky for us. The next day a visit to the Golden waterfall Gullfoss and the sprouting geyser Strokkur will put the finishing touch on our winter week-end.

Day 1: Your highlands adventure begins when we pick you up at your hotel in Reykjavík around 9:00. From Reykjavík we pass over the mountain range of Hellisheiði and traverse the wide plains of southern Iceland. At the foot of the Mt.Hekla volcano (last eruption 2000) we climb the road up to the Sigalda hills. Traversing mysterious lava fields, craters in their white winter coat, and vast snowfields, we finally arrive in Landmannalaugar. In the afternoon we put on our snowshoes, if needed, and go for a hike in this rough and breathtakingly beautiful region. At the end of a perfect day outdoors, you can enjoy a warm bath in the hot springs river or assist the guide preparing a delicious barbecue dinner.

Day 2: Day two of our highlands tour begins with breakfast in the early morning allowing our senses to absorb the surrounding beauty and tranquility. We take a last look at the colorful hot springs before starting the journey back across the mountain plateau in the direction of the main road. Weather conditions permitting, we pass by the waterfall Gullfoss and the hot springs of Geysir on our return to Reykjavík.
