Summer opening 2026

Even though there’s still quite a lot of snow on the mountain, summer is just around the corner :)

Last year we changed the mountain’s opening schedule in consultation with the Akureyri Cycling Club, and it worked out really well — almost all opening days were well used. Because of that, the same arrangement will be used this summer.

The plan is for the summer season to run from July 4 to September 5. During this period, it will be possible to use Fjarkinn, our lower chairlift, to get up the mountain, whether to enjoy the bike park or to hike around the mountain and enjoy the views. There are no plans to open Fjallkona this summer due to maintenance work.

Opening hours:

• Tuesdays and Thursdays from 16:30–20:30
• Saturdays from 10:00–16:00

In addition, there will be three long weekends when it will be open from Thursday through Sunday:

• July 16–19 (Enduro and Downhill & Enduro competition weekend)
• July 30 – August 2 (Merchants’ Weekend holiday)
• August 27–30 (Downhill competition weekend)

The opening date is subject to change, of course — the weather will determine whether we can open on July 4, but we hope June will be warm and nice !

We look forward to see you at Hlíðarfjall this summer :)
