Travel deep into Iceland’s central highlands on a two-day snowmobiling expedition that combines long riding days with an overnight stay in a remote mountain hut. This experience is designed to cover ground gradually, adapt routes to conditions and give time to explore the Fjallabak region beyond what’s possible on a single day.
The plan is simple: travel from the lowlands into the highlands, spend two full days snowmobiling across varied terrain, and stay overnight in a geothermally heated mountain hut near Landmannalaugar. Each day’s riding route is chosen by the guide based on weather, snow and visibility, ensuring safe access to the best available terrain. Evenings are spent off the machines, resting, eating well and preparing for the next day.
This tour operates in the Landmannalaugar and Fjallabak regions of Iceland’s central highlands. The area sits well above sea level and is characterised by volcanic terrain, snow-covered plateaus and wide, open riding conditions.
Meeting details and final departure points are confirmed after booking. Transport is included from Reykjavík and the Hvolsvöllur area.
No previous snowmobiling experience is required. The tour is suitable for beginners and experienced riders, with instruction and route choices adapted accordingly.
Participants should be comfortable spending two full days outdoors in cold conditions and sharing accommodation in a mountain hut. A valid driving licence is required to operate a snowmobile.
Multi-day snowmobiling in the highlands requires careful planning, route flexibility and local knowledge. This itinerary avoids rushing, allowing time to adjust to conditions and cover terrain safely across two days.
