A 6-day exploration along the best known of Iceland's volcano's.
This concentrated itinerary is part of our collection of trips that speak to the purist hiker with a spirit of adventure.
This year, we are offering several departures for a maximum number of 12 participants. The volcano Mount Hekla has always fascinated man and the magic that revolves around its reputation, which goes well beyond Icelands' shores. Considered during the Middle Ages as an access to hell, Ancient Rome, in it's day, advised fishermen to see for themselves what lay beyond if they ventured as far. The volcano's eruptions often ruined the countryside and was the source of worry for the islands' people, who feared and revered the volcano at the same time. But what was feared the most was that an eruption from one of the faces of the volcano would ruin its perfect shape.
This beautiful strato-volcano (a volcanic edifice built over centuries through a series of volcanic eruptions) is still active and closely monitored by the volcanologists' seismographs. We hike along the volcano from a reasonably safe distance in order to maintain safety and we stay informed of the relative volcanic activity.
With the exception of a lightweight day pack, all equipment and luggage is transported by a 4x4 support vehicle, which will make numerous detours in order to meet us at our evening destination. The guide is linked by radio to our base station in Reykjavik and to 4x4 vehicle assistance if required.
Rough itinerary:
- Reykjavík > Trek along East Rangá
- Trek to Hekla plaine
- Trek to Hekla farms
- Trek to Hekla North
- Trek to Landmannahellir
- Trek to Landmannalaugar > Reykjavik
If you have more than a week to spend in Iceland, then it is possible to link this trek, before or after it, with a 6-day overland discovery on the South Cost making alltogether (with a resting day in between) a fabulous journey of 13 days. Overland and trekking
