Two glaciers in one day, and one of them is a glacier most visitors never see! While other tours stick to the standard route on Falljökull, this hike takes you across it to reach Virkisjökull (''Fortress Glacier''), a remote, secluded glacier hidden from view. You'll spend 3.5 to 4 hours on the ice, visiting a quiet glacier valley framed by towering ice formations, dramatic icefalls, and striking basalt columns, with sweeping views of Öræfajökull, Iceland's highest peak. It's the longer, wilder, more remote alternative to a standard Skaftafell glacier hike, built for travellers who want to leave the crowds behind.

Incluído

Small-group hike on two glaciers (Falljökull & Virkisjökull)
Specialized glacier gear: crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet
Round-trip 4x4 transfer from Skaftafell to the glacier edge
Professional certified glacier guide

Não incluído

A parking fee is charged for the Skaftafell Visitor Parking Lot
Snacks
Hotel pickup and drop-off
Transport to/from Skaftafell meeting point

O que fará

You'll step onto Falljökull, the "Falling Glacier," and your guide will lead you
across its lower ice, teaching you how to read the surface and move safely between crevasses
After crossing Falljökull, you'll continue onto Virkisjökull, meaning "Fortress
Glacier" where most of the hike takes place. This is the quiet, secluded part of the tour: roughly 3.5-4 hours walking through a glacier valley framed by dramatic icefalls, towering ice formations, and striking basalt columns, with views opening up to Öræfajökull, Iceland's highest peak.
