Iceland weekend charity challenge trek

This is one of our outline challenge itineraries. If you are interested in running this as a fundraising event, please contact us for more information. If you are looking to take part in a charity challenge please see upcoming events.

Iceland rests on the edge of the arctic circle and sits atop one of the world’s most volcanically active hotspots.

Discover the stunning scenery of Iceland on this fantastic weekend trekking challenge in the western mountain region of Borgarfjörður. Our trek takes us from lush green pastures to the breathtaking mountain range belonging to the Snæfellsnes peninsula at 600-900m high. Evenings will be spent camping out on the banks of two stunning lakes, full of trout and artic char.

Our trek ends in the Hnappadalur valley on the peninsula, close to the 2600 year old and very beautiful volcanic craters of Rauðamelskúla.

This is a special ‘old classic’ trek for Icelanders, but little known by foreigners, so we will feel very priveledged!

Our final night is spent celebrating our acheivements, Icelandic style in Reykjavík!
