Hi,
Looking for some information from anyone who has experience of mountaineering in Iceland in winter. I am looking into the possibility of going there in March next year with a friend.
Plan is pretty open just now. We are either looking at completing a multi-day trek somewhere, possibly taking in a trekking peak or two, tent and pulk based. Or perhaps basing ourselves somewhere with access to some straightforward peaks.
I've made a couple of trips to Iceland in summer - walking in the Kerlingerfjoll and cycle touring across the interior - but Iceland in winter is a different thing altogether, so I'm struggling to know where to start. I'm not sure what areas might be accessible, where we can get with public transport in March, and what areas might be best at this time of year.
I'd be interested to know about good regions to visit, relatively budget accommodation recommendations (Norwegian Hytte style would be great) and any other relevant tips.
Experience wise, I've done some winter mountaineering in Canada and Norway (as well as Scotland!) so the cold is not new to me, but I'd be interested in personal experience people may have.
Thanks
Matt
