Iceland by Bike – Askja Trail by E-Bike and MTB

A dream destination for adventurers and lovers of the extraordinary, Iceland is an island of primordial beauty, where nature reveals its full power and magnificence. Its rugged landscapes, vast volcanic deserts, immense glaciers and dramatic natural features make it a unique, mysterious and irresistible destination. Here, the heat rising from the Earth’s core, fuelled by active volcanoes, constantly clashes with the icy presence of enormous glaciers, creating spectacular contrasts and breathtaking scenery. The pure air, crystal-clear rivers, natural hot springs and impressive geological formations accompany travellers through a constantly evolving landscape, where the immense forces of nature can be felt at every turn. Our cycling adventure will take us deep into the most remote and untouched heart of the island, along an exciting route far away from the usual tourist trails. For seven days, we will ride between glaciers and volcanoes, crossing lunar landscapes, vast lava fields, sandy tracks and river fords, immersed in a wild and spectacular environment. An extraordinary experience for those seeking authentic adventure and something truly out of the ordinary. Thanks to the _wild adventure_ format of the trip and our extensive experience in organising expedition-style cycling tours, we will be able to explore even the most isolated areas. Support vehicles will follow the group throughout the journey, transporting luggage, tents and equipment and providing assistance whenever needed. They will also carry bicycles that cannot be repaired on site. In addition, participants who feel particularly tired will have the possibility, on a rotational basis, to take a seat in one of the support vehicles for a maximum of one day. Overnight stays will be an integral part of the adventure. We will sleep in tents transported by the organisation and set up by the participants themselves, in designated camping areas or near mountain huts. Whenever possible, we will have access to hot showers and the facilities of nearby campsites or huts. In more remote locations, however, we will embrace simpler and more basic washing arrangements, fully in keeping with the spirit of this outdoor experience. To make our evenings more comfortable, even in challenging weather conditions, the support vehicles will also transport a large heated dining tent, where the group can gather and enjoy meals together after a day in the saddle. The nature of the terrain, the daily distances and the potentially challenging weather conditions make this itinerary particularly suitable for **e-bikes**. Battery recharging will be guaranteed during lunch breaks and at the evening campsites. Riders using conventional mountain bikes are also welcome, provided they are sufficiently fit and well-trained to handle the demands of the route. An intense, authentic and emotion-filled journey, designed for experienced cyclists and adventure enthusiasts who want to challenge themselves and discover Iceland at its wildest, far away from traditional tourist routes. An unforgettable experience, where every kilometre is an achievement and every landscape reveals the extraordinary power of nature.
