22.12.2023
We were able to lay out cross country skiing tracks today´s afternoon, 22.12. The trail might collect minimal snow next days due to weather. We will try to renew the trail if weather, time and manpower allows.
We recommend to park at parking lot by Vallarkrókur or at P2.

The track goes from Vallarkrókur east towards Skógarkot (2 km) and from Skógarkot north to Hrauntún (2,6 km). This trail is in best condition.
Then there is a track from Skógarkot to Tjarnir (2 km). This part has shallower trail and at some places the ground peaks through.
