One of the tracks is about 1 km long, starting below the clubhouse and running around Hvaleyrarvellir. The other track is about 2 km long, starting at the car park by Hraunkot and crossing the course commonly known as Hrauni\u00f0. The tracks are therefore of varying lengths and difficulties and should suit most people. The start of the trails is marked with euro pallets for the time being, which should be easy to see, and a map is forthcoming. It is planned that the Keilir Golf Club will maintain the trails laid out on the golf course for as long as snow and frost remain, and the course staff welcome any constructive feedback.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ideal sport for the whole family<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cross-country skiing has enjoyed ever-increasing popularity in recent years, and the residents of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and friends of the town are undoubtedly among its most active practitioners.\u00a0 This is the ideal sport for the whole family, combining time together, the great outdoors, exercise and a whole lot of fresh air. The Healthy City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur hopes that the people of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur will make use of these new trails, take every precaution, and enjoy skiing through the lava fields. If all goes well, it will be considered whether cross-country ski trails can be created in other areas, such as at V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0at\u00fan, which is not only well-attended during the summer but is also popular in winter for winter sports. Many have enjoyed sledging on V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0at\u00fan, which is also popular with a growing group of snowboarders.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Komdu \u00e1 g\u00f6ngusk\u00ed\u00f0i \u00ed heimabygg\u00f0! \u00dea\u00f0 vi\u00f0rar vel til vetrar\u00ed\u00fer\u00f3tta \u00feessa dagana og n\u00fa hefur Golfkl\u00fabburinn Keilir \u00ed samstarfi vi\u00f0 Hafnarfjar\u00f0arb\u00e6 lagt tv\u00e6r g\u00f6ngusk\u00ed\u00f0abrautir \u00e1 Hvaleyrarvelli. \u00d6nnur brautin er um 1 km og byrjar ne\u00f0an vi\u00f0 sk\u00e1lann og fer um Hvaleyrina.
