Svarfaðardalur mountain area and neighbouring mountains (neighbour municipalities) are very popular among mountain skiers, and there are a couple of services that offer guided trips to the high mountains should you choose so. The views are out of this world and skiing conditions for mountain skiers can last until May/June. Laugabrekka was built in 1993. The house is 117 m2 on two floors and has a private balcony from the master bedroom, offering you wonderous views during day or night. The house is now owned by Kristin (from Dalvik) and Runar, but Kristin's uncle Björn and his family were the initial residents there, so the house has been in the family from the start. The name Laugabrekka draws it name from a warm water spring in the mountain above the house and the slope where it is positioned. There is a man made warm spring (32°) in the mountain above (named after Gísli, Eirikur and Helgi, legendary characters from the valley), and it actually only takes like a 15 min walk up the mountain to splash your feet in it while soaking in nature.
