Description

Step off the beaten track and discover the unspoiled beauty of Iceland's wilderness on this amazing three-hour snowshoe hike through the Myvatn Nature Reserve. This tour is ideal for anyone looking for a fun winter activity while exploring northern Iceland.

Your incredible adventure starts at the meeting point in the Myvatn area or with a convenient pick-up from the nearby hotels and accommodations.

After meeting your expert guide for the day, you will be equipped with the necessary snowshoe gear and venture into some of Iceland's most awe-inspiring landscapes.

Each route is carefully selected based on the day's weather and snow conditions, allowing for the best experience. Depending on the day's route, you might find yourself trekking across the frozen water of Myvatn or exploring the otherworldly Krafla lava field.

On this tour, you might visit well-known spots in the Myvatn Nature Reserve, such as the beautiful Dimmuborgir lava rock formations, and even venture into hidden corners, discovering lesser-known landscapes.

Picture yourself walking through volcanic steam at Krafla, hiking between towering lava formations, or stepping onto the frozen surface of Myvatn lake when safety conditions allow. The Icelandic winter's stunning views and peacefulness will allow for a magical atmosphere.

This snowshoe adventure is about more than just the scenery, it is about fully immersing yourself in Iceland's raw nature. Along the way, you'll stop for a refreshment break, taking in the stillness of the wilderness around you.

Snowshoes are the ideal way to navigate this winter wonderland. They provide excellent flotation on soft snow, and the metal crampons ensure safety on icy terrain, giving you the stability and confidence to explore rugged landscapes.

This way of hiking is a relatively easy activity; it is similar to walking with larger shoes, and the tour is adjusted to match the group's fitness level.

The guides select locations for beginners that provide an enjoyable, relaxed hike. A more strenuous mountaineering adventure can also be arranged for those seeking more of a challenge.

You will end your fantastic day at the meeting point in Myvatn or with a convenient and hassle-free drop-off at your accommodation in the north of Iceland.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hiker, a snowshoe hike through the untouched nature of northern Iceland is an unforgettable way to experience the magic of winter.

So don't miss out, and join this beautiful three-hour snowshoe tour at the Myvatn Nature Reserve in northern Iceland! Check availability now by choosing a date.
