Your itinerary

1. Kerlingarfjöll and Hveradalir walley

Once we have reached BaseCamp, our hike can begin.

To begin with, we will have to walk in the desert, with two glaciers: Langjökull and Hofsjökull surrouding us. As you make your way on the path, you will feel alone in the world. On a clear day, you can see dozens of kilometers away in every direction, with not a single sign of civilization.

As you go up and down, gazing at the views all around you, you will eventually reach our destination: Hveradalir. Once we arrive in this place, which seems from another planet, we will continue our hike through a hiking loop in the area.

It is a valley over a hot geothermal area. Hot springs and fumarolles are everywhere among orange-brown colored moutains. Even in the summer time, snow can be spotted on the top of the mountains.
