Iceland
Iceland is superb for volcanic trekking, glacier travel, ski touring, and dramatic multi-day routes such as the Laugavegur, with very strong scenery concentrated into a short season. Best for travelers who want raw landscapes and weather-defined adventure more than comfort-led mountain travel.
