Landmannalaugar Tours & Tickets

Landmannalaugar's rainbow-hued mountains are formed from rhyolite lava, a rare volcanic mineral that creates colours ranging from red and yellow to green and blue.

The geothermal hot springs at Landmannalaugar allowed Icelandic farmers to bathe in naturally heated water for centuries before modern tourism arrived in the 1970s.

At 64°N latitude, Landmannalaugar experiences midnight sun from June to July, meaning you can hike at 11 p.m. in full daylight.

The Laugavegur Trail, one of Iceland's most famous multi-day hikes, starts or ends at Landmannalaugar and takes 2–3 days to reach Þórsmörk.

Landmannalaugar sits in the highlands at roughly 600–1,000 metres elevation and is only reliably accessible by 4WD vehicle from June to September.

The geothermal pool Laugahver ('hot spring pool') maintains a temperature of around 35–40°C year-round, making it one of Iceland's few naturally heated mountain bathing spots.
