If you haven't considered Iceland for your walking holidays because the thought of extreme cold is stopping you, think again. Iceland isn't all about ice; in fact, it has the most breathtaking sights in a climate that's amazingly mild - especially in the summer and early autumn.
Just imagine the stunning spectacles awaiting visitors in Iceland: waterfalls and hot springs, crevassed glaciers and lava fields - in a setting where night never falls in midsummer. It's a landscape that must be seen to be believed.
Fire and Ice
What is commonly said about Iceland is that it is a land of fire and ice - visitors on walking holidays discover that it is all that and more. A fascinatingly landscape sculpted by ages of volcanic and glacial activity, hot springs and geysers, as well as lakes, rivers, waterfalls and glaciers may be found amidst majestic mountains - some of which are volcanoes complete with lava fields. So, what to do in this land? There are a great number of adventures to be had, many depending on what season you plan to go.
Iceland in the Spring
Birdwatching is perhaps the best reason to go on walking holidays to Iceland in the spring - that and the brilliant colours of greens and blues that take over the land as it warms up and the wilderness comes to life. Get close to the millions of puffins that come back in the spring, or any of the 200 bird species that nest here, often in great numbers.
Iceland in The Summer
Bright skies of various hues of blues and greys are never-ending in the summer - as there's no such thing as sunset! In the height of the summer season you can enjoy the greenery as well as the small, sturdy flowery lowlands, or be awestruck by the vast, pure uninhabited highlands.
Walking holidays in summer aren't all about walking - a host of activities are available such as diving, glacier-skiing, biking, angling, and kayaking. One can even take a boat to spot some of the magnificent whales the in the blue oceans around Iceland.
Iceland in the Autumn
The colours of Iceland are perhaps among the best reasons to go to Iceland in autumn. At this time, the brightly green vegetation turns all shades of brown, yellow and red, turning the landscape a different flavour of picturesque - the kind photographers adore. Many festivals and social events also come up in autumn, adding a new and exciting layer of colour all around.
Iceland in Winter
Imagine bright white snow against the black of winter. Wake up to dark nights lit by dancing lights in the various colours of the northern lights - it's a different kind of beauty in winter. Cross-country skiing and sledding are popular at this time, with the excitement of the sport matched by the excitement of magnificent views.
Whether you're visiting in spring, summer, winter or autumn, Iceland has a lot to offer visitors on walking holidays. There are many events and activities that may be enjoyed all year-round including horseback-riding, walking through historical sites, galleries and museums, and enjoying the different cultural festivals, as well as the wonderful nightlife - any time is a great time to visit Iceland.
