Laugavegurinn Trail in Iceland | The BEST Hike Ever and a Gateway Trek for Beginners

Join me on an epic journey through the southern highlands of Iceland on the Laugavegurinn (also known as the Laugavegur) Trail, a 55 km trek through multicolored mountains, black volcanic deserts, steaming geothermal springs, glacial rivers and deep valleys with plummeting ravines. While this may sound daunting, it can be handled by inexperienced hikers and those with moderate athletic abilities. This makes it a great hike for beginners looking to get into multi-day treks.

The best part? You can either camp along the way or stay in cozy huts run by the Icelandic Touring Association, which provide creature comforts like hot water, communal kitchens, and showers. Staying in the huts also means you don't have to carry a tent, sleeping bag, and mat, making your backpack much lighter and more comfortable.

So, whether you're a seasoned hiker or a beginner, join me on the Laugavegurinn Trail for an adventure that will blow your mind.
