Cross Country Skiing at Þingvellir
13.01.2023
Our cross-country skiing tracks are ready again. After the storm last Monday our trails got little extra snow on them but the lanes have been renewed.
The cross country skiing tracks are only single lane and there might be some snow still on the trail. This is not a fast track lanes, rather slow and enjoy nature.
Starting point is in Vallarkrókur or at P2.
The track goes from Vallarkrókur east towards Skógarkot (2 km). At Skógarkot you have two options.
1. Hrauntún (3 km). Head north towards Hrauntún. At one point you will have to cross road 36, take care of coming cars. Then you continue to Hrauntún which used to be farm until 1930. From Hrauntún the only option is to return the same way.
2. Tjarnir (2 km). You can head east towards Tjarnir which is a pond next to the northeastern end of lake Þingvallavatn. From there it is best to return back the same way.
Then there is a track from Skógarkot to Tjarnir (2 km).
Here you can get the map in pdf version.
Best wishes to have fun.
