About Landmannalaugar
Landmannalaugar lies in the Southern highlands. The area combines rhyolite mountains, lava fields and geothermal activity. Light, reddish and dark tones appear side by side, changing with the light and the surface moisture.
Routes start from a support area and allow viewing the mountains and lava on hikes of varying lengths. The site is also part of crossing itineraries, but a day visit can be limited to nearby trails, chosen according to time and group condition.
Access is seasonal and involves interior roads. Summer operations usually run between June and September, with exact dates depending on road openings. Arrange appropriate transport and book in advance; the straight-line distance to the South Coast does not reflect the actual driving time.
