Fjallabak is a dynamic family business, that Philippe has been running with his wife Sigriður Lovísa from the beginning and now with their eldest daughter Matthildur Filippusdottir Patay (33) or Matta who is taking the flag to carry on the family business.
Fjallabak, the name of the company, means "Behind the Mountains" in English. It is the name of a famous trail, which snakes its way through the desert landscape of the volcanic highlands between Mt. Hekla and the icecaps along the south coast. This vast and incredible territory remains mostly "unexplored" by classical tourism. The access is not very easy because nature there remains a powerful actor.
We specialize in high-quality supported trekking, backpacking, walking and land discoveries for small groups, ski treks and slow travel as nature tours are, such as birding, whale watching or geology... We also quote and organize trips for private groups and A la carte such as self drive and self guided tours. Occasionally, we become the provider for film shootings and incentive events.
