Athugið – Mikilvæg Árstíðabundin Tilkynning
Frá október til júní er aðeins hægt að komast að skálanum með sérútbúnum ökutækjum (breyttum 4x4 „superjeppum“), á vélsleðum, á skíðum eða fótgangandi. Hefðbundnir bílar komast ekki að skálanum á þessu tímabili. Vinsamlega athugið einnig að rennandi vatn gæti ekki verið í boði þessa mánuði og þjónusta er takmörkuð. Gestir ættu að vera vel undirbúnir fyrir afskekktar og krefjandi aðstæður á hálendinu. Nánari upplýsingar.
