The Laugavegur Trail is a stunning route across southern Iceland that takes students from geothermal streams, across glaciers, around volcanoes, and on to the roaring ocean.

There are very few, if any, hiking trails that can offer such a rich diversity in geological features. The main feature of the Laugavegur Trail is that it provides students the chance to encounter a huge array of incredible experiences. The trail includes obsidian fields, valleys and ridges where Norse Gods were believed to live, and of course the volcanoes and glaciers that Iceland is world famous for.

Any school trips including the Laugavegur Trail in their itinerary will find themselves waking in a vibrant lunar landscape, camping each night in a place that looks like a different planet from where they were a few hours earlier!
