Iceland Three Peaks Challenge

Route overview

Most itineraries use Skaftafell, Skógar, and Landmannalaugar as the key access bases for Hvannadalshnukur, Eyjafjallajokull, and Vorduskeggi, with summit days linked by transfers rather than one continuous trail. Arrivals from the UK usually begin with london -> reykjavik, then road loop around south iceland before the route moves on between the mountain bases.
