- Kerlingarfjöll - The journey takes us to Kerlingarfjöll, a volcanic mountain range in central Iceland, celebrated for its steaming geothermal valleys, swift glacial rivers, and stunning panoramic vistas.
A brief rest stop at Gullfoss will precede our transition from paved roads to highland mountain paths. Along the route, travelers will enjoy views of the expansive black highland desert and glacial lagoons, ultimately reaching the mountainous haven of Kerlingarfjöll.
Our initial stop in this area will be The Highland Base, situated in the Ásgarður Valley at the edge of Kerlingarfjöll, where we can take a break.
- Hveradalir - The highlight of Kerlingarfjöll is the Hveradalir valley, a breathtaking and iconic landscape. Hveradalir, meaning ‘the Valley of the Hot Springs,’ is among the largest geothermal valleys in Iceland. The area is encircled by the vibrant rhyolite mountains of the Kerlingarfjöll range, providing spectacular scenery and excellent hiking opportunities. Some hot springs here are so potent that they should only be admired from a safe distance.
Please note that the hike duration depends on the trail and weather conditions, but the aim is to hike for approximately 2 hours.
- Reykjavik - The adventure begins with an 8 a.m. pick-up from Reykjavik at a selected location from our pick-up list. Once everyone is on board, we will leave the city and head towards the remote Icelandic highlands.
After spending time exploring the area and enjoying the geothermal wonders of Kerlingarfjöll, we will return to Reykjavík for an evening arrival.
