Gear Express: Luggage transfer from Landmannalaugar to Thorsmork

Conquer the Laugavegur Trail with Gear Express and enjoy a truly unburdened hiking experience. This exclusive three-day luggage transfer service allows trekkers to explore Iceland’s stunning Highlands from Landmannalaugar to Thórsmörk without the weight of heavy backpacks. Each morning, hikers leave their main luggage at the designated drop-off point at their campsite before the scheduled time. While you embark on your day’s trek with only a light daypack, the Gear Express team collects your gear and transfers it to the next campsite. By the time you arrive, your luggage is already waiting, allowing you to settle in quickly and comfortably. This seamless process continues throughout the entire trek, providing convenience and peace of mind while you focus on the challenging terrain, panoramic views, and natural beauty of the trail. Hikers can immerse themselves fully in the adventure without worrying about logistics or carrying heavy loads, making the journey safer and more enjoyable.

The Gear Express service is carefully tailored for the classic Laugavegur itinerary, covering transfers between each of the main campsites along the trail. Luggage must be ready for collection at the designated time and clearly labeled with the owner’s name and hut details. Customers are advised to use waterproof duffel bags or backpacks with additional dry bags for valuable items due to unpredictable highland weather. Hard suitcases, cardboard boxes, and fragile packaging are not permitted to ensure safe and efficient transport across rough terrain. Arrival times may vary because of challenging road conditions, including snowfields, river crossings, and rugged tracks, but luggage will be delivered as soon as possible. Hikers are responsible for timely drop-offs, and while Gear Express takes care to prevent damage, liability is limited to the value of the luggage as documented by the customer. By removing the burden of heavy gear, this service allows adventurers to experience the Laugavegur Trail as it was meant to be enjoyed, focusing on the extraordinary landscapes, hiking challenges, and unforgettable memories that make Iceland’s Highlands so remarkable.
