Mývatn: Guided Snowshoe Hike in Nature Reserve｜Iceland

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Join a guided snowshoe hike into the wilderness of the Mývatn Nature Reserve. Depending on snow and weather conditions, the best location each day will be decided. From the steaming volcano of Krafla Lava field to the towering lava maze or the frozen wetlands of Mývatn Lake, the landscape is breathtaking.

Snowshoes provide flotation on soft snow, metal crampons make them safe on ice and snow, and they increase stability in rough terrain. They offer a way to experience the silence and calmness of Iceland.

Snowshoes and skis are traditionally used in Iceland for hiking in the highlands. Snowshoes are a much easier step into mountaineering than skiing, with a few minutes of instructions, everyone can do a snowshoe hike. Snowshoe hiking is one of our favorite activities as it provides full freedom to explore new destinations within the nature reserve, depending on weather and conditions.

The guided snowshoe hiking tours are tailor-made to fit the activity level of each group. Snowshoe hiking is, in general, just walking with a bit bigger shoes. One of the main reasons that different locations are picked depending on conditions is to make sure to provide as good conditions for beginners as possible.
