Description
Steamer is the ultimate all-mountain e-bike MTB day trip for experienced riders who want technical trails and stunning scenery in equal measure. Starting from the Reykjadalur Trailcenter, the route takes you deep into the geothermal landscape of Hveragerði on a full-suspension eMTB, navigating narrow technical single-track through an area where steam rises from the ground, and the earth reminds you exactly where you are. Lava fields, small waterfalls, rivers and steaming mud pools make up the backdrop for 20 to 30 km of varied, ever-changing terrain. Natural trails, steep sections and fast-flowing descents. This trip is for experienced riders only. If technical all-mountain riding and otherworldly scenery sound like your kind of day, this one is for you.

We help you choose the best loop for the day based on weather, trail conditions and how long you want to ride.

2. Ride out (self-guided from our Trailcenter)
You roll straight from Reykjadalur into the Hengill geothermal area.
Expect a mix of narrow, technical single-track and faster-flowing sections, with steam venting from the ground as you ride.
Some sections can be steep, loose and exposed - this ride is best for experienced MTB riders with solid technical control.
3. Choose your distance (ride at your own pace)
Typical distance: 20 - 30 km depending on the loop you pick, pace and conditions.
