There are many variations of the Hiking Passport, depending on your preference; a full or half Laugavegur, Fimmvörðuháls or a combination of any of these options. You do not have to choose prior to departure which hike you end up doing as the ticket is valid from any of the six hiking destinations. Hiking On Your Own is a great option for individuals and groups alike.
The Laugavegur hiking trail is one of the most popular hiking trails in Iceland and a favourite among the locals. The hike usually starts in Landmannalaugar and from there it is a 3-4 days hike to Þórsmörk nature reserve.
Fimmvörðuháls hiking trail is extremely popular and during the last few years it has become even more so. One of the reasons for the popularity is the volcanic eruption that took place in the middle of the trail in 2010. The hike takes you through a pass between the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull and takes about 7-10 hours to complete, depending on the hiker’s pace.
A GPS triggered audio guide provides passengers with interesting information about the top attractions on the way.
