We want to invite as many as possible to enjoy the outdoor activities at Hlíðarfjall both summer and winter. In the summer we normally open our area early July and are open for guests until early September.
Our chairlift Fjarkinn is our main lift during summer but this year we will again open our upper chairlift, Fjallkona, for 5 weekends so our guests can reach over 1000m height with lifts.
We offer the only bike park in Iceland with great trails throughout the mountain that also connect down into Glerárdalur and even all the way out to Kjarnaskógur forestry.
But our area is also a great place for hikers which can enjoy the views of Eyjafjörður and hike in the beautiful landscapes above Akureyri. There are quite a few options to hike around the mountain and also possible to hike to the top, to the Harðarvarða cairn for example. Hiking guests can hike down or use the lifts to get back so almost anyone can come with to the mountain, young or old.
Hlíðarfjall opening period summer 2024 is as follows:
Fjarki chairlift – July 11 to September 8 – Thursday to Sunday
Fjallkona chairlift – July 27 to August 25 – Saturdays and Sundays
Welcome to Hlíðarfjall
