Being situated on the highlands, the Hveravellir nature reserve is surrounded by the gigantic Langjokull and Hofsjökull glaciers. It is a real heaven of peace which is home to a geothermal area, rich in hot springs and fumaroles. The clear and unblemished panorama is splendide and represents a source of inspiration for that person who wants to discover the lava fields or to traverse the surrounding mountains.

Day 1: Hveravellir

Our favourite road to reach the Hveravellir Nature Reserve passes through the Langjökull glacier but its usage depends on the meteorological and snow conditions of the moment.

if this route is impassable, because the weather and snow conditions are less favorable, we take the Northern route which is equally picturesque, but much more safe on difficult conditions.

Once installed in Hveravellir, we can choose to go on short sightseeing trips, to visit the hot springs, the fumaroles, the lava fields or to relax in the hot springs with a glass in your hand while your guide is busy preparing a traditional Icelandic dinner.

If the northern lights are visible, it would be a pitty not to enjoy the beauty of the site by taking a midnight bath in a pool of natural hot water under a star-spangled sky. It is an unforgettable experience that I strongly recommend you!!!

In this magical place your guide will prepare a feast consisting of 3 traditional Icelandic dishes; salted or smoked salmon, grilled lamb and a dessert.( Also, the breakfast for the next day,the lunch and the snacks are surely included.

Day 2: The Golden Circle

The next day, after a generous breakfast, we go southwards, by the Kjölur mountain trail, which leads us to the gigantic Gullfoss waterfall, then to the impressive Geysir and finally to the Thingvellir National Park,
