Iceland Women's Laugavegur Hike  is a 40ish-mile thru-hike from the hot springs of Landmannalauger to the lush green forests of Thorsmork in the highlands of southern Iceland! You may never be able to pronounce the name, but the adventure will be unforgettable.

Iceland Women's Laugavegur Hike is a 40-ish mile hike over 5 days across extreme environments of the southern highlands, to the forested valley of  Þórsmörk (thorsmork).  

The landscape is so varied and other worldly, you just might think you were on another planet.

Traverse rainbow, rhyolite mountains down into steaming geothermal areas that give way to bubbling mud pools surrounded by vibrant green lime colored moss. Trek through valleys of obsidian (Dragon Glass to all you Game of Thrones fans), and walk over snow, ford glacial rivers, and across an expansive lava sand desert.

Be rewarded with the feeling of accomplishment on our Iceland Women's Laugavegur Hike knowing that you achieved your goal each day! Celebrate and laugh with your adventure buddies as you sit around the table at night sharing homemade meals, and your stories at the end of each day on our Iceland Women's Laugavegur Hike.

Oh, friend….there will be stories on this epic Iceland Women's Laugavegur Hike.

Who should sign up for our Iceland Women's Laugavegur Hike ?

You must love hiking and you must be confident that you can get yourself from point A to point B each day on your own two feet. This trip is open to women who do not have any experience thru-hiking. Some mountain hiking experience carrying a backpack is recommended in various weather conditions, and you must be an active person, willing to prepare your body for the experience.

We walk 6-7 hours per day, or about 7-10 miles. Maximum elevation is 3,400 ft and is covered within the first two days of hiking. The third day is rolling with short, steep climbs. The final stretch is mostly flat with little elevation gain. The fifth day is hiking the trails around Thorsmork. The trails are foot paths with loose gravel, rocks, sand, mud, and possibly snow.. Total accumulative elevation for the hike is 6000ft over 5 days.

This is a challenging trip but not impossible. The varied terrain (loose gravel, dirt, mud, snow) steep ascents and decents, combined with the varied weather make this hike moderate to strenuous for most. 

Recommended for those that are physically active and have some experience with hiking at least 5 hours in mountainous terrain with a backpack.
