Skælingar Hut and Campsite

The Skælingar hut is a gem restored by Touring Association Utivist in 1996-97 from a decayed farmers' sheep roundup shelter. The breathtakingly beautiful surroundings are reminiscent of a park, with large lava outcrops and lush vegetation. A short walk takes you to Holaskjol, while Mt Uxatindar and Mt Gjatindur offer one-day hikes. To reach the hut, a rather difficult 4wd track continues from the track to Mt Gjatindur. Inside, you'll find comfortable mattresses and a gas stove, but no other utensils. The hut is heated with oil, but it's not insulated and, therefore, not suitable for winter use. It can accommodate up to 16 people. Transport from Holaskjol to the Skælingar hut is available upon request. Please email nat@nar.is to arrange it. To ensure your spot, make sure to book online in advance. Mountain Hut Skælingar Open from 15 June to 31 August Price for sleeping bag accommodation: 7000.00 ISK Children aged 7-15 receive a 50% discount. Camping Skælingar Open from 20 June to 31 August Price per person for camping: 2000.00 ISK.
