Iceland and The Landmannalauger trek

Service Description

This challenge comprises of a 4 Day 5 Night Expedition. It is a self-supported trek - you'll be required to pitch your own tent & cook some of your own meals. You'll be carrying a pack weighing between 10-15kg & trekking for up to 6hrs a day. Weather conditions can range from sunny to heavy rain, windy to calm, low visibility to bright sunshine & you must be able to operate in these conditions regardless. While this will be an amazing adventure in one of our favourite locations, this is by no means an easy challenge. A strong will & determination are required, along with a good level of fitness and the ability to cope without the usual home comforts. While we won't be living like cavemen (there is the usual hot showers, good food and expedition tents) we will be in a remote area and working as a team with your ClimbAxe Leaders is a must. This truly is an expedition holiday, and we are sure you will earn memories that will last a lifetime. For you to gain the skills required for this trip, ClimbAxe will run a training weekend (incl in the cost) in Snowdonia prior to your departure, where you will learn how to pitch tents, use expedition stoves, sample expedition food, get used to carrying expedition packs and moving over undulating terrain, skills on keeping kit dry and setting up your kit in your tent and being comfortable.
