Iceland is an amazing destination to visit especially in the winters. You can ski in Bláfjöll as there is no end to the choices of outdoor sports activities here. Winter sports thrive in Iceland.

There are several slopes to ski down in Bláfjöll. This is the perfect winter holiday for winter sports enthusiasts. One of the special things about Bláfjöll, or the Blue Mountains, is that the area is volcanic. The mountains were actually formed by volcanoes thousands of years ago.
The tunnel of Leidarendi was formed by a volcanic explosion which now has a ring shape inside of the mountain which tourists can explore and hike through. The ski slopes attract many locals from the beginning of February to the end of April. The ski slopes of Bláfjöll are a very popular destination for the locals during Easter weekend.
There are 16 ski lifts available and about 9 miles of slopes to ski down. There is the gear on-site available to rent for those who do not own their own ski gear. For those who might be new to skiing, there are also lessons available at Bláfjöll.
