Frequently
asked
questions

How long is the Lost hike?
The Lost trail is about 19 km based on its recorded GPS track. Times vary with pace, weather and how much you stop — plan conservatively and turn back early if conditions change.
How do I get to the Lost trailhead?
Lost is in Reykjavík Area. Use the map on this page for the trailhead coordinates and check live road conditions before you drive — some trailheads sit on gravel or F-roads that need a 4×4 and only open in summer.
Is Lost safe to hike alone?
Lost sits 3.2 km from Reykjavíkurborg, and 0 km from Route 36. The uploader rated it hard and it climbs about 778 m. Iceland trails are often unmarked and weather turns quickly. Tell someone your plan (or file one at safetravel.is), carry a charged phone and layers, check the forecast, and turn back if fog, wind or rising rivers set in. Don’t rely on phone signal.
When is the best time to hike Lost?
Lost climbs about 778 m, so snow lingers on it later than on lowland trails. Most Icelandic hiking is a June–September activity, when trails are snow-free and daylight is long. Highland routes open later and close earlier; check road and trail status before committing.
