Langidalur Shop

The South


A small shop offers hot coffee and tea, plus basic provisions: camping gas, wool socks, maps and limited groceries (soup, noodles and jam etc) at a premium. Hikers like to crack open one of the store's cans of cold beers after a long hike. Opening hours vary; the staff at Langidalur hut may open the shop by request.

Operated by Ferðafélag Íslands, which manages the Laugavegurinn huts.
