Explore the extraordinary landscapes of Iceland, a land shaped by fire and ice, with a guidebook that brings both day walks and multi-day treks together in one comprehensive resource. From short waymarked routes through coastal scenery and geothermal areas to longer treks across glaciers and volcanic plateaus, this country offers something for walkers of every fitness and experience level.
This trusted guidebook to Walking and Trekking in Iceland presents a complete collection of 49 day walks and 10 multi-day treks, offering around 100 days of walking on Iceland's remarkable terrain. Among the highlights are the classic multi-day Laugavegur Trail across southern Iceland, famous for its striking rhyolite mountains, steaming hot springs, and vivid geothermal valleys. It also covers Hvannadalshnúkur, Iceland's highest mountain, where walkers can enjoy spectacular views from its glacier-covered summit.
- The day walks, ranging from short excursions of roughly 5 to 35km (3-22 miles), can be completed in 2-10 hours and are ideal for exploring local areas, highlights close to town and Icelandic national parks such as Vatnajökull National Park
- The 55km Laugavegur Trail is described over 4 stages and can be combined with the lesser-known Hellismannaleið (59km) and Skógar Trail (29km). Other multi-day treks range from approximately 34 to 143km (21-89 miles), all offering rewarding adventures for experienced hikers
- Practical guidance is included for every route, with sketch maps and detailed information on public transport, facilities and accommodation (including camping, hotels and huts owned by Ferðafélag Íslands and Útivist), helping you tailor your planning to your holiday
- Expert author Paddy Dillon gives advice on preparation and logistics, explaining how to navigate Iceland's summer and highland season conditions, supporting safe and confident exploration over glacial crossings
Iceland is a destination that offers hikers an exciting blend of empty landscapes, volcanoes, and glaciers. This comprehensive Iceland guidebook equips you with all you need to discover the country's wild beauty in a way that is accessible, rewarding, and unforgettable for walkers of all abilities.
