Húsafell Golf Course

Iceland

Written by: Edwin Roald

Húsafell Resort in West Iceland has unveiled a diverse system of hiking trails, incorporating a unique variety of natural and cultural heritage elements, many of which run through the resort’s nine-hole golf course. Surrounded by glaciers, woodlands, waterfalls and rugged lava, West Iceland is home to the most spectacular and diverse hikes in the country.

Signs have been set up throughout the Húsafell recreational area and near the 9th green. A free map is available in the Hotel Husafell reception, Husafell Visitor Center and through a digital download, showing trails of varying lengths and difficulty. Many of the trails have been developed from ancient sheep and horse trails that follow the natural contour of the landscape. Each of the ten routes offers a different theme like the Water Trail where one can see active hot springs, or the Artist Trail dotted with boulders etched in Viking artistry. This way, the trails at Húsafell provide insight into both natural and cultural heritage.
