HIKING FIMMVÖRÐUHÁLS
Fimmvörðuháls hiking trail is extremely popular
and during the last few years it has become even
more so. One of the reasons for the popularity
is the volcanic eruption that took place in the
middle of the trail in 2010. The hike takes you
through a pass between the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull and takes about 7-10
hours to complete, depending on the hiker’s pace.
This Hiking On Your Own passport option can be
used for the Fimmvörðuháls hike as a ticket for
transfer along routes:
Reykjavík – Þórsmörk
Reykjavík – Skógar
The Hiking On Your Own passport is the ideal
way to experience two of Iceland’s most popular
hiking routes. You simply purchase one passport
and with it you get bus transfer from Reykjavík
to the base of the hike and again to Reykjavík
from the hike’s destination when you are done.
You can take as much time for the hike as you
please, provided it falls within the passport’s
time frame (13 June – 7 September). The passport is valid for one transfer in either direction.
