The ski areas

There are many opportunities for skiing in and around Reykjavík. We offer three ski lifts for children and beginners in Reykjavík. Cross-country skiing trails are laid in various places and the ski areas in Bláfjöll and Skálafell are close to the City limits.

Cross-country skiing

Cross-country skiing trails (loipes) are laid in and around the capital area when weather permits. Information about where and when cross-country skiing trails are groomed is available on the information page for cross-country skiing trails in the capital area.

Reykjavík City, in cooperation with Sporið, lays trails at Hólmsheiði and Rauðavatn when conditions allow. Ullur cross-country skiing club has laid trails in Heiðmörk. Various others have been laying trails in the capital area. Trails are also groomed in Bláfjöll, and information about them is available on the Bláfjöll website.
