The ideal island for a trek - Iceland

" Iceland, land of a thousand facets, land of the extremes where you will see glaciers meet volcanoes. To really appreciate it, nothing is better than a hike or a trek in its natural parks", explains Addy Asgerfur Einarsdottir. Born in Reykjavik, the young Icelandic trekking guide, she knows the island like the back of her hand. According to her, Iceland offers an incredible adventure ground for the most demanding trekking fans. Hiking in Iceland, means diving into the heart of this volcanic island, in outback regions that have an "end of the world" atmosphere. However, a trek in Iceland needs particular care: "Knowledge of the area is indispensable as it can be very dangerous", explains this passionate mountain and nature guide. That is why she recommends contacting specialised agencies before heading off. Addy also recommends consulting the website of the Iceland Touring Assiociation which is particularly informative for trekking: Trekking guide. Text and Photography: Julien Nessi.
