Þjófadalir

Please book your bed in the hut through the blue button located up to the right on this page.

The tiny Þjófadalir hut operated by Ferðafélag Íslands (The Iceland Touring Association, FÍ) is located in Þjófadalir valley and accommodates 12 people.

The hut is located by the ancient Kjalvegur hiking trail.

FACILITIES

The hut has a small entrance that houses a small kitchen area with utensils. From there you walk into tiny sleeping quarters with bunk beds on each side. Above half of the hut is a small sleeping loft.

There is no running water in the hut but it is possible to fetch water from a small stream. There is a latrine/outhouse close by.

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

The hut in Þjófadalir was built in 1939.

OPENING SEASON AND ACCESS

During sumer it is possible to drive nearly all the way to the hut with a 4x4 jeep. The last kilometer must be completed on foot.

The opening season of the huts depends on when the Icelandic Road Authority opens the road and that in turn depends on snow conditions and general conditions of the road itself.

The hut can be rented in winter 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.

NEARBY SIGHTS

In addition to the Kjalvegur hiking trail, hiking to the summit of Rauðkollur is common.
