The Touring Club of Akureyri

 The Touring Club of Akureyri, a branch of the Iceland Touring Association, was founded in 1936.

 The Club aims to promote and organize travelling in Iceland, especially in Northern Iceland.

 In the Club´s touring program, a variety of tours is on offer: one day tours (walking or skiing), weekend tours (Friday evening till Sunday) and longer tours, lasting up to seven days.

 In tours lasting more than one day, accommodation is mostly in mountain huts owned by the Touring Club of Akureyri or other similar clubs. Participants must bring their own provisions, except in the "Askja-trail" tours.

 The Club owns seven huts in popular mountain areas in Northern Iceland. There are camping places by three of the huts. For hut reservations, please contact the office of the Club.

 The office of the Club at Strandgata 23, IS-600 Akureyri, Iceland, is open 4-7 pm, Mon to Fri, from 1st June till 31st August, tel. 462 2720. Telefax: 462 7240. E-mail: ffa@est.is . Bookings should be made at least a week in advance, but at least a month in advance for the longer tours where a deposit is required. Departure for the tours is usually from the office.

 The Touring Club of Akureyri reserves the right to alter or cancel tours as necessary. The Club accepts no liability for participants or their personal belongings.
