Remote two- Glacier hike from Skaftafell!

Escape the crowds and experience one of Iceland’s most unique glacier hikes on this extended 5.5-hour adventure across two outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull – Europe’s largest glacier.

Starting in Skaftafell, this guided glacier hike takes you first onto Falljökull, known as the “Falling Glacier,” where dramatic icefalls and rugged formations set the tone for the journey ahead. From there, you’ll continue deeper into the landscape toward the secluded Virkisjökull, often called the “Fortress Glacier,” where the true highlight of the experience unfolds.

Far from the busy main routes, this off-the-beaten-path glacier hike offers a quieter, more immersive encounter with Iceland’s raw nature. You’ll navigate through towering ice formations, deep crevasses, and striking basalt columns, with time to fully take in the scenery – often without the usual crowds.

Designed for adventurous travelers seeking a more exclusive and authentic glacier experience, this tour is the perfect alternative to standard glacier hikes in Iceland.
