We opted for Reykjav\u00edk Excursion because the buses leave from the center of the capital and offer timetables that suit us.

But you can also radiate for the day from the camp for beautiful day hikes as we present below.<\/p>\n<p>The Landmannalaugar is also known for its hot springs. It is a mandatory stop if you come here. The source a little behind the tumult of the parking lot is superb. The temperature should be around 40 \u00b0 C but is flexible because cold and hot currents meet in the main pool, allowing you to find the location that suits you best. The bottom is in fine gravel which makes the water very clear. A structure allows you to store your belongings while swimming. The only downside and not the least: the world! In the afternoon when the buses arrived, it&#8217;s crazy! We therefore advise you to go there in the evening or even better in the morning! We were lucky to be only three in the basin on our way around 9am. Real happiness especially after a cool night.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;70&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-832061&#8243; medias=&#8221;62321&#8243; style_preset=&#8221;metro&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;1&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon,caption&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_width=&#8221;12&#8243; single_height=&#8221;8&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_overlay_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_v_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243;]Practical information[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>Or sleep ?<\/strong> Many solutions :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The refuge of &#8220;FI&#8221;, the Icelandic hiking association.

J\u2019ai \u00e9galement d\u00e9couvert l\u2019alpinisme gr\u00e2ce auquel on explore une autre facette de la montagne encore plus intime gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l\u2019engagement qu\u2019il n\u00e9cessite. Ce n\u2019est que r\u00e9cemment que j\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 explorer le (Grand) Nord avec, d\u2019abord, l\u2019Islande puis la Norv\u00e8ge entre le Svalbard et les Lofoten et la Su\u00e8de avec la Kungsleden. Je n\u2019en finis pas d\u2019\u00eatre \u00e9merveill\u00e9 par cette \u00ab r\u00e9gion \u00bb du monde et toutes les possibilit\u00e9s de treks qu\u2019elle r\u00e9serve. La randonn\u00e9e en autonomie est une activit\u00e9 formidable. On \u00e9volue dans les plus beaux paysages qui soit, on prend le temps de savourer, on r\u00e9fl\u00e9chit, on se perd. L\u2019introspection est forte lorsque l\u2019on s\u2019\u00e9vade dans les grands espaces inhumains, c\u2019est le moment de se d\u00e9couvrir et de d\u00e9couvrir ceux qui vous accompagne, comme le dit un proverbe islandais \u00ab l\u2019aiguille de la boussole ne m\u00e8ne qu\u2019\u00e0 soit m\u00eame \u00bb. C\u2019est aussi l\u2019occasion de laisser derri\u00e8re TV, internet et smartphone et de revenir \u00e0 la base : avancer, avoir chaud, se prot\u00e9ger, manger\u2026 Je souhaitais donc partager cette passion, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce blog, au travers de mes carnets mais \u00e9galement gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce que j\u2019ai pu apprendre sur le terrain. J\u2019esp\u00e8re que vous trouverez de quoi vous \u00e9vader le temps d\u2019un r\u00e9cit, de quoi vous donner des id\u00e9es pour une prochaine aventure ou les r\u00e9ponses \u00e0 vos questions sur le mat\u00e9riel et la pr\u00e9paration. Alors surtout marchez, courrez, grimpez. \u00c9vadez vous dans les montagnes, dans la nature !","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Summitcairn\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/summitcairn"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summitcairn.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
