ABOUT FOSSAVATNSGANGAN

Fossavatnsgangan, a 50km long-distance ski event, is the first Ski Classics Challengers event in Iceland.

The event takes place in Isafjordur and was established in 1935, being the oldest long-distance race in Iceland, with the 50km being on the program since 2004. The race has its start and finish at Seljalandsdalur-Isafjordur's main cross-country ski area with the trails going along the mountains surrounding Isafjordur with a breathtaking view and under the pleasant spring weather.

In addition to the 50km main race, Fossavatnsgangan also offers races of 12km and 25km in classic technique, 25km free technique and kids race of 1km and 5km.
