About this trip

 Snaking its way through the Southern Highlands of Iceland, the Laugavegur Trail and its ever-changing landscapes are an inexhaustible source of wonder for any hiker. The moss-covered lava fields, polychrome mountains, black sand deserts, and turquoise lakes turn this age-old trail into a vivid riot of colors. With so many natural wonders to offer, it comes as no surprise that it bears the title of the most famous trail in Iceland.  And even when you enter the home stretch of this iconic trek, the beauty doesn’t fade! You’ll find yourself in Thorsmork, a valley nestled between three glaciers with amazing hikes of its own and home to glacier-fed rivers, mossy greenery, and so much more. Immerse yourself in Iceland’s culture and recharge your batteries each day with a warm meal prepared in a heated mountain hut. Follow the ancient pathways under Iceland’s midnight sun and let this untouched wilderness deliver some unforgettable moments.   


No heavy packs will be carried and all our luggage will be transported between destinations.


Our guide will be a local Icelander who will provide delicious local meals each day.

 This is a supported trip, meaning we will have an experienced highland driver in a 4x4 mountain truck to bring our luggage from hut-to-hut. Each guest has one item of luggage. Sleeping bags can be separate from the luggage bag. Both the truck and the highland buses go through rivers. The luggage can get wet. I highly recommend a strong waterproof duffel bag. Each person is responsible to carry their luggage to and from the mountain truck each day.

Hiking the Laugavegur trail was an adventure! A challenging adventure for a group of slightly older than the average on the trail. We hiked, stayed in huts, were fed filling and lovely meals, lots of snacks and the odd box of beer and wine to celebrate those long days on your feet. So so worth it. Magnus and his trusty dog Fenris were master guides and I felt safe at all times particularly when the weather turned on us with Magnus helping anyone that needed it up some steep ascents and descents. It was 55km of long days, up and down hills, fun nights and good humour. Magnus is your guide. Just do it! Thank you Trekking with Purpose. Amazing.

I would thoroughly recommend the team, from Andrew , our local rep to Magnus the guide. His knowledge of the trail , its history, geography and geology was a great learning for us.

A massive thank you to Andrew and Lewis for organising the Coast to Coast UK walk and safely guiding us throughout the amazing and memorable journey. We walked with a fantastic, fun and inspirational group of people. The route was spectacular with the scenery breathtaking and constantly changing. The whole Coast to Coast trek experience was brilliant. We highly recommend Trekking with Purpose.
