About me
My name is Philippe Patay Pétursson.I am the founder and Chief Executive of Fjallabak and member of the Guide Association of Iceland.I am also a world traveller, a birdwatcher, a photographer and a mountaineer.Our company was certainly the first one to organize treks and ski expeditions in Iceland in the early 70’s.FJALLABAK* is a fully licensed incoming travel agency by the Icelandic goverment and member of SAF, the Icelandic Travel Industry Association.Fjallabak is a dynamic family business, that we own and that I have been running with my wife Sigridur from the beginning and now with our children, our son Gabriel (36) who is one of our leading guides and our eldest daughter Matthildur (29) who is my right hand at the office.(* to be pronounced as the Italian cars Fiat labak) Fjallabak, the name of our company, means "Behind the Mountains" in English.It is the name of a famous trail, which snakes its way through the desert landscape of the volcanic highlands between Mt.Hekla and the icecaps along the south coast.This vast and incredible territory remains mostly "unexplored" by classical tourism.The access is not very easy because nature there remains a powerful actor.Most of our treks go throught Fjallabak Nature Reserve. It is a magical land difficult to describe with words. But thanks to Airpano, as one of Odin's raven, you can fly here over this indescribable territory:
