Ancient Trails
Ancient Trails is a six-day, fully supported hut-to-hut trek through Iceland's central Highlands. Follow the old Kjalvegur travel route with a small group and Icelandic guides, far from the busiest hiking trails. Each day brings a different landscape: the steaming rhyolite slopes of Kerlingarfjöll and Hveradalir, the open country between Langjökull and Hofsjökull, lava fields, glacial rivers, and remote mountain huts. The journey begins in Reykjavík and heads into the Highlands via Þingvellir and Geysir. Soak in natural hot springs, share dinner in the old turf house at Hveravellir, and hike past the cairns that once guided travelers across the interior. An optional climb of Rauðkollur opens up views across the glaciers. On the final day, visit Gullfoss before returning to Reykjavík. The group is limited to ten guests. Your guides bring Icelandic history, folklore, and local knowledge to the trail while Norse takes care of meals, mountain huts, sleeping bags, transport, and moving your main bag between overnight stops. You hike with a daypack. Expect several consecutive days on uneven Highland terrain and weather that can change quickly.
