FACILITIES

The Hlöðuvellir hut operated by Ferðafélag Íslands (The Iceland Touring Association, FÍ) is located in the lava field at the southern foot of Mt. Hlöðufell.

It comprises a large entrance and a sleeping hall with a kitchenette (gas-stove). It accommodates 15 people in double bunk beds. There is no running water in the area. A latrine/outhouse is located close by.

Guests have to take their trash with them and leave nothing behind.

The first hut in Hlöðuvellir was built in 1970.

OPENING SEASON AND ACCESS

The hut is accessible on foot or by robust 4x4 vehicles.

The opening season of the huts depends on snow conditions and general conditions of the road itself.

The hut is closed in winter, but can be rented by sending a hut enquiry to the offices of FÍ. Please keep in mind that winter travel in Iceland is serious business and should only be undertaken by highly skilled hikers, accustomed to extreme conditions and carrying 5 season equipment.
