Bike trails in Thórsmörk

This map of the Thórsmörk trail network shows bike trails marked in yellow. All other trails have priority for hikers. Please take care and be considerate of other trail users.

The development of the bike trail network is ongoing and new routes will be published here.
This map was updated July 2025.

The bike trail network
In response to increasing interest from visitors, the development of bike trails in Thórsmörk began in 2018. The main aims of this work are to manage safe access for both hikers and bikers and improve the experience of visitors. These designated routes avoid busy hiking trails and are designed specifically for bikes. The Thórsmörk bike trails have been developed in close partnership with Ferðafélag Íslands (Iceland Touring Association) and with practical help and guidance from our Thórsmörk friends who have been biking in the area for many years and play an active role in maintaining the trails.

Developments in 2025
Work last season increased the network to approximately 5 km of bike trails. This included improvements to several existing trails as well as two new bike routes.

  • TM-86 New bike trail
    This short trail provides a new link to access the Slyppugil Ridge and avoids a large number of timber steps and drains on the busy Laugavegur hiking trail.
  • TM-87 Húsadalur bike trail
    This new trail connects Húsadalur with the vehicle track and avoids busy sections of the hiking trails. The new route provides access to Hamraskógar.
