Landmannalaugar is at the northern end of the Laugavegur hiking trail, and the Iceland Touring Association operates a mountain hut accommodating hikers.
The huts on the Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls trails are (from north to south): Icelandic horse riding has been available in the area each summer.
The horse riding trips visit places such as Jökulgil [ˈjœːkʏlˌcɪːl̥] (Glacier Valley), that can often be difficult to access on foot and are inaccessible by car.
Arctic char fishing is a common activity in Landmannalaugar and nearby lakes.
