Here at Fjallabak, we sincerely consider trekking as a magnificent human experience in the wilderness before being a business. We keep a reasonable size for our family business despite fierce rivalry imposed by big tour operators and mass tourism that invaded areas with easy access.

Fortunately Iceland is vast and everyone rushes to the same places. We venture further into the back country.

Icelandic Highland Travel founded in 1976 became Fjallabak in 1997. Said without bragging, this is the oldest and most experienced trekking company in Iceland. Thousands of miles stored in our muscles, mind, heart and experience.  Meet our team here.

Its founder, in addition to exploring the nearly pristine mountains of Iceland, formerly led many treks and expeditions to the Sahara, East Africa and the Himalayas.
