About Landmannalaugar tours

Landmannalaugar is one of the best-known highland destinations, and also the starting point of the Laugavegur hiking trail to Þórsmörk. Most visitors come for a day trip rather than the multi-day hike.

The area is famous for its coloured mountains, formed by rhyolite rock, along with lava fields and a geothermal area that feeds the natural hot spring near the campsite.

F-roads into Landmannalaugar involve river crossings and are closed to normal rental cars, so day tours run by super jeep or the scheduled highland bus are the usual way in.

The area is open roughly late June to early September. Bring swimwear if you plan to use the hot spring, and proper hiking boots for the trails, since weather and terrain change quickly.

Do I need hiking experience for Landmannalaugar?
