Iceland is now firmly established as one of the best, most dramatic trekking destinations. The variety of landscapes has been created over the centuries by volcanic eruptions and gigantic glaciers. One of the most popular trails is known as the Laugavegur Trail, and this is the focus of our week. All meals are included while camping, and we start in the colourful Landmannalaugar Mountains before heading to the dramatic Thorsmork region where we discover the craters from the 2010 eruption. Few trekking routes can match the striking vistas on offer here.

In addition, the early departures offer long days, up to 24hrs daylight in July, while the late August and early September departures bring with them some darkness and with that the chance to see the Northern Lights.
