Bláfjöll ski resort
The ski areas of Bláfjöll and Skálafell are both only 25 minutes away from the city. Bláfjöll is southwest of the city and Skálafell is east of the city. Both areas have great ski slopes for downhill skiing and snowboarding and tracks for cross-country skiing. There is no need to order ski equipment in advance. It is not known exactly when we can open the ski areas, it depends a lot on if there is enough snow in the mountain. In recent years has it been able to open a few days in December but almost certainly from the beginning of January.
