Highlands & Valleys

Locations

The highlands make up a huge part of Iceland's centre. Being a mountainous and wild region, there aren't any main roads into the highlands, and the country's main ring road (Route One) circles around the coast of the island because cutting through the interior tends to take more time.

The Icelandic Highlands cover a vast area of the country and is home to many of Iceland’s most impressive natural attractions. Away from crowds and urban noises, the highlands provide tranquil, dramatic landscapes that are perfect for storytelling.
