Yes, hiking in Iceland is generally safe — especially if you hike with an experienced guide. Guides make sure you stick to marked trails and pay attention to changes in weather conditions. If you plan to hike alone, you should always bring a map and a first-aid kit and make sure to tell someone your planned route.

Other beautiful routes include the Viknaslöd trail in East Iceland, featuring picturesque fjords and mountains, as well as the many trails in Vatnajökull National Park.
When is the best time to hike in Iceland?
The best time for hiking and trekking in Iceland is in the summer months (June to August), when you get long days, milder weather, and the magical midnight sun, which allows for many hours on the trails. Some tours can also be done in winter, such as glacier hikes, but summer offers the most favorable conditions for most routes.
Can I hike in Iceland’s Highlands year-round?
No, the Highlands become extremely cold in winter with snowstorms and icy conditions that make the area inaccessible. You can only reach the Highlands in summer.
Are hikes in Iceland suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! Many hikes in Iceland are suitable for beginners and offer shorter, less demanding routes. Popular options include easy hikes close to Reykjavik, such as Mt. Esja or the Heidmörk nature reserve, as well as guided glacier hikes on Solheimajökull. Tours often include experienced guides who ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all levels.
How does the weather affect hiking in Iceland?
The weather in Iceland is very unpredictable and can change several times in a single day. Wind, rain, and temperature drops can affect trail conditions and visibility — especially in the Highlands or on exposed ridges.
Always check the forecast on Vedur.is before you go, and be prepared for sudden changes by packing waterproof clothing and warm layers. Guided hikes are strongly recommended for extra safety in bad weather.
What type of clothing should I pack for a hike in Iceland?
Bring warm layers of wool and fleece. Avoid cotton, as it insulates poorly and dries slowly when it gets wet. Pack waterproof clothing and good hiking boots.
If you plan to camp, you should also bring a warm sleeping bag, a sturdy tent, and an insulating sleeping pad. The weather in Iceland changes quickly, so it’s important to be prepared with plenty of layers.
Is it okay to wear sneakers when trekking in Iceland?
No, sneakers or running shoes are not a good idea in Iceland. Iceland’s terrain is often rocky and uneven, so sturdy hiking boots with ankle support are always recommended.
Are there short hiking trails near Reykjavik that I can do in half a day or a full day?
Yes, there are many hiking options in the area around Reykjavik. Heidmörk is a nature reserve on the outskirts of the capital with plenty of short hiking trails.
There are also several smaller mountains close to Reykjavik, including Mosfell, Helgafell, Keilir, and Mt. Esja.
Am I allowed to hike off-trail in Iceland?
No, it’s discouraged — and often prohibited — to hike off marked trails in Iceland. Iceland’s ecosystems, especially moss and soil, are fragile and can take many years to recover from damage. Always stay on marked trails to help preserve the country’s nature.
What are the Leave No Trace principles for hiking in Iceland?
When hiking in Iceland, you should always follow these Leave No Trace principles:
- Stick to marked trails to protect delicate moss and vegetation.
- Pack out all trash, including biodegradable items.
- Avoid disturbing wildlife and respect local farming areas.
- Use a refillable water bottle and avoid single-use plastics to minimize waste.
What is Laugavegur?
Laugavegur is Iceland’s most popular hiking trail. It stretches 34 miles (about 55 kilometers) between Landmannalaugar and the Thorsmörk valley. It also shares its name with Reykjavik’s busiest shopping street.
The trail has mountain huts where hikers can stay overnight, as well as campsites. Most people take three to four days to hike the entire Laugavegur trail.
What is Fimmvörduhals?
Fimmvörduhals is a 14-mile (about 22-kilometer) section of the Laugavegur trail in South Iceland. The route includes a climb of more than 3,200 feet (about 1,000 meters), which means you need to be in reasonably good shape to complete it. If you hike this route, you’ll be rewarded with fantastic views of the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull.
Which other areas in Iceland are popular for hiking besides Laugavegur and Fimmvörduhals?
Do I need to book a spot in the huts in the Highlands, or can I just show up?
Many of the mountain huts in Iceland’s Highlands are small, so they can quickly become fully booked. It’s therefore strongly recommended that you reserve a spot well in advance to ensure you have a bed at night on your multi-day hike. Alternatively, you can book an organized guided tour that takes care of the accommodation.
Can I trek on an active volcano in Iceland?
Yes, there are guided tours to active volcanic areas, such as Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanes peninsula. On these tours, you can safely experience recent lava fields, steaming fissures, and craters formed during eruptions. Always follow your guides’ instructions to ensure your safety when hiking near volcanic areas.
Can I rent hiking gear in Iceland?
Yes, you can rent hiking and camping gear, including sturdy hiking boots and waterproof clothing. Some providers also offer gear rental for an additional fee, but check this when booking.
Are guided hikes safer than hiking on your own in Iceland?
Yes, guided hikes are generally safer — especially in unfamiliar or challenging terrain. Guides have experience navigating Iceland’s unique landscapes and can adapt the tour to the weather, so you’re in safe hands. At the same time, you’ll gain valuable knowledge about Icelandic geology, flora, and fauna, which makes the experience even better.
Are hikes in Iceland family-friendly?
Yes, there are family-friendly hikes in Iceland. Shorter routes near Reykjavik, such as the hike to the hot springs in the Reykjadalur valley, are ideal for families. Many guided tours also accommodate children and provide a safe and educational nature experience. Remember to check age and fitness requirements when booking.
How far in advance should I book hikes in Iceland?
It’s recommended to book hikes in Iceland as early as possible — especially for summer and Highlands tours. Mountain huts, guided multi-day tours, and glacier tours often sell out months in advance. Booking early ensures availability and makes planning easier.
What is included in guided hikes in Iceland?
Guided hikes in Iceland typically include an experienced guide, transportation to and from the starting point of the tour, and safety equipment (e.g., crampons for glacier hikes). Some multi-day tours also include accommodation, meals, and luggage transport. Always check the tour description so you know exactly what’s included.
