Iceland’s most iconic trek, a journey through otherworldly landscapes of neon-green moss, rainbow-colored rhyolite mountains, jet-black obsidian deserts, and glacial rivers.
Check the Wardens: Always talk to the hut wardens (Skáli) before starting a leg. They have the most accurate, hour-by-hour weather updates and know if the rivers are safe to cross.
Respect the Moss: Never step off the trail. Icelandic moss takes decades to grow and seconds to destroy. Staying on the path is a matter of environmental ethics and safety.
