In addition to entry to the hiking areas, the hiking pass includes bus transfers between the BSI Reykjavik Bus Terminal and the starting point of your chosen route. Travelers can choose which hiking trek they want to follow and book a place on the bus to their preferred destination. The bus transfer destinations available are the hot spring area of Landmannalaugar, the village of Skogar, and the Thorsmork valley. You can choose which areas you want to have as the starting point of your hike — simply book the bus and get on board!
The pass then grants you access to three of the most popular hiking trails in Iceland: Landmannalaugar, the Laugavegur trail and the Fimmvorduhals trail. It also includes a return trip back to Reykjavik.
The Laugavegur trail is the single most-visited hiking trail in Iceland, with over 8,000 annual visitors. The path connects the Landmannalaugar hot spring area to the Thorsmork valley. The route is roughly 34 miles (approximately 54 kilometers) long, so it should take you three to four days to complete.
On this spectacular trail, you’ll cross over three rivers and see an enormous diversity of landscapes. There are mountains and valleys, glaciers, hot springs, volcanoes, and forests. It’s a gorgeous area, so make sure you bring your camera!
The Fimmvorduhals trail leads from Thorsmork to Skogar, so you can add this to the end of the Laugavegur trail if you want a longer trek. This route is 14 miles (about 22 kilometers) long. You can probably complete this extra part of the route in about 10 hours — but remember, you’re going at your own pace, so you can split this over two days if you prefer.
This hiking pass is a fantastic choice for travelers who want to enjoy Landmannalaugar, Laugavegur, and Fimmvorduhals at their own pace. The hikes themselves will be self-guided, and you’ll need to carry all your food, clothes, and camping gear for the duration of the trek.
The hiking pass is only valid in the summer months, so you’ll need to use it between June 15 and September 11. However, within this timeframe, you are free to spend as long as you like hiking in the breathtaking areas of Landannalaugar, Laugavegur, and Fimmvorduhals.
