Forest Lagoon & Panoramic Akureyri

OVERVIEW

Enjoy a sweeping panorama of Akureyri from atop a nearby ski resort and afterwards relax in an outdoor geothermal spa that offers incredible views as well. As you ascend the slopes surrounding Hlíðarfjall ski resort, the area’s natural beauty will become all the more apparent. The view of the pristine fjord Eyjafjörður with Akureyri tucked along its western shore will be particularly memorable. More gorgeous scenery awaits you on the return to town as you will travel through the vast Kjarnaskógur woodlands, which incredibly was nearly treeless until it was reforested in the mid-20th century. It is a fittingly prelude to your time at the Forest Lagoon, an outdoor spa nestled in an idyllic setting among birch and pine trees. You will be free to indulge in the amenities, which include several naturally heated mineral-rich infinity pools. The water has therapeutic qualities, especially for the skin, and you can expect to emerge thoroughly relaxed.
