Fontana Spa & Pingvellir
For almost a century, locals have been enjoying the healing powers of the natural steam baths in the community of Laugarvatn, next to the lake of the same name.
Only about 60 minutes drive from Reykjavík, nature has created unique surroundings at Laugarvatn Fontana, where healing geothermal heat simmers directly from the ground and the landscape is painted with beautiful mountain ranges.
In fact, wintertime makes the visit to the thermal baths an even more memorable experience.
Tour includes ;
Return bus fare & admission to Laugarvatn Fontana.
Pick up at hotels and guesthouses 30 minutes prior to departure. Drop off after day tours may sometimes not be right in front of your hotel/guesthouse due to narrow streets and actual coach size used during the tour.Natural - Relaxing - GeothermalLaugarvatn FONTANA is composed of a series of interconnected
baths and steam rooms that complement each other to create a healthy, natural and unique spa experience. Laugarvatn FONTANA’s three steam rooms, collectively
called GUFAN, have been built over the natural hot spring that has been used for decades. The temperature in the rooms varies depending on weather conditions, and is usually between 40°C (104°F) and 50°C (122°F); humidity is high. Special grates in the floor of the steam rooms allow guests to see, hear, and smell the natural hot spring as it flows under the rooms straight from the ground, creating a unique and totally natural experience. Next to the steam room is YLUR, a Finnish-style sauna. The temperature inside YLUR will be between 80°C (176°F) and 90°C (194°F), with a lower humidity than the steam rooms. The three interconnected mineral baths are called LAUGA, SÆLA, and VISKA. Filled with natural geothermal water, the baths will vary in both depth and temperature. There will be areas for relaxation and others where there is more movement, both of water and people. Facilities There will be a café on the premises, with a focus on healthy refreshments and locally produced delicacies. Souvenirs and gifts, mostly related to health and wellness, will be available for purchase at the reception.
Bathing suits, towels and bathrobes will be available for rent.
