Ride an electric mountain bike through Iceland's central highlands on a small-group guided tour from Highland Base in Kerlingarfjöll. This is a part of Iceland most travellers never get to see: a landscape of rhyolite mountain ridges, steaming geothermal valleys, glacial rivers, and volcanic terrain that feels like another planet.
Meet your guide at Highland Base and get fitted with your e-MTB, helmet, and protective gear. After a short briefing, set off along gravel trails into the highlands. The electric assist handles the highland climbs so you can focus on the landscape, and the downhill stretches bring the thrill. Your guide leads the way and stops along the route, giving you time to take in the views and capture photos of the mountains around you.
E-mountain biking makes the highlands accessible to most fitness levels, and no previous mountain biking experience is needed. The electric assist, charged with renewable electricity, boosts your pedaling power and makes the ride smoother and more enjoyable while still giving you a great workout. It's a fun, active way to explore the area. You should be confident on a bicycle, used to changing gears, and comfortable riding on gravel and uneven ground.
This guided e-mountain bike tour in Kerlingarfjöll runs during the summer season. The tour takes around 90 minutes, and group sizes are kept small for a personal experience.
