Bláfjöll

Iceland's largest resort, an easy drive on a slightly dangerous road (gravel surface) from Reykjavik. The lifts are split in to 5 unlinked but neighbouring areas, with much floodlighting of the piste - vital at such a northerly latitude with little winter light. A 5km loipe is also floodlit. Best to stay in Reykjavik and commute.
