Þjóðsögur

Saga og þjóðsögur

Hlíðarfjall is a small ski resort above Akureyri — Iceland's most popular ski area, which is somewhat ironic given Iceland's reputation as a warm geothermal country. The resort runs from late November to early May and covers 23 slopes across a 680-metre vertical. In summer, the ski lift turns into a sightseeing cable car giving panoramic views of Akureyri, Eyjafjörður fjord and the surrounding mountains. The mountain is easily visible from the city and has a walking trail to the summit from the upper lift station. Icelanders take their skiing seriously and Hlíðarfjall has produced national champions.

Staðbundin þjóðsaga

The Troll of Hlíðarfjall

An ancient tale speaks of a troll who once roamed Hlíðarfjall. The troll was caught by the rising sun while traveling home and turned to stone, becoming part of the landscape. Local people say you can still see the troll's silhouette in the mountain formation, forever frozen as a reminder to respect the power of daylight.
