About Iceland's Mountain Huts

Iceland's mountain huts are basic accommodations designed for hikers and mountaineers. Located in remote areas along some of the best hiking trails, these huts offer a mix of essential amenities and are managed by the Icelandic Touring Association (FÍ).
The huts are typically staffed by volunteers who maintain the facilities and assist hikers with information and advice. Most are open and manned during summer but closed in winter. Some remain open in late winter/early spring, but access to these huts in winter often requires snow hiking, skiing, or specially equipped vehicles.

Huts in Iceland range from small, offering basic facilities like bunk beds and communal kitchens, to larger ones with more amenities such as hot showers and dining rooms. The larger ones might have a shop selling food and supplies, so carrying extra Icelandic Krona (ISK) is advisable.
Most huts are self-catered. They do not offer hot, ready-made meals, so hikers should carry their own food and cooking equipment. Some huts, like all the huts on the Laugavegur trail, have gas or wood-burning stoves available for cooking in some larger lodges, but some less visited require you to bring your own camping stove.

When staying in Icelandic huts, hikers should bring their own sleeping bags, as blankets are not provided. The inner spaces are warm enough not to need a heavy-duty sleeping bag. In larger huts, like the ones on the Laugavegur Trail, you can expect running water and water toilets, but smaller ones might require fetching water from a nearby stream and using a latrine.

Hut rules emphasize cleanliness, tidiness, and consideration. Key rules include:
- Warden consultation: If available, check with the warden about your booking and sleeping arrangements.
- Check-in/out: Check-in between 12:00 and 20:00; check-out by 10:00.
- Quiet hours: Maintain quiet from midnight to 7:00 am.
- No shoes inside: Leave hiking boots in the entrance hall.
- No smoking inside: Smoking is prohibited inside the huts at all times.
- Kitchen cleanliness: Keep the cooking area clean and tidy.
- Water contribution: Add water to the communal pot on the stove as needed.
- Cleanliness upon departure: Ensure the hut is clean before leaving.
- Payment: Remember to pay for your stay and any used facilities.
- Environmental care: Do not leave trash behind; help keep the environment clean.

There are six huts on the Laugavegur Trail, each offering mattresses, toilets, cold running water, and a communal kitchen. These huts are heated but don't have electricity for charging devices. Booking in advance is essential for them due to their popularity.

Trekking in Iceland
Iceland's landscapes are defined by dramatic contrasts: geothermal areas like Geysir, with steaming springs and gushing geysers, alongside majestic waterfalls such as Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss. The island is dotted with vast glaciers, including the immense Vatnajökull, and Þingvellir National Park showcases the country's volcanic origins. These natural wonders glimpse Iceland's diverse and dynamic geological tapestry.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)
