In 2022, several projects were repeated from 2021 and others were added. Although projects are repeated, there is always a new program underway, new trips, new mountains and new people.

Come along to the outdoor activities, there was a considerable increase in numbers. Supervisors and camp leaders were Anna Sigrún Rafnsdóttir and Kristján Hreinsson.

Get out and into the mountains was successfully repeated and the same supervisors and tour guides were present as before.

In 2021, several projects were repeated from 2020 and new ones were added, and they all went well.

Come out and into the mountains was a similar project and a kind of follow-up project to Come out into the Icelandic summer, 2-3 shoes, same tour guides.

Entering the fall with FFA, More Mountains was replaced by tour guides Áslaug Melax and Óskar Ingólfsson.

A mountain skiing course was added, which began in January and was immediately filled. The tour guides were Kristín Irene Valdemarsdóttir and Jón Marinó Sævarsson.

A beginner's course in hiking was also tested, Come with me to the outdoors, and the tour guides were Anna Sigrún Rafnsdóttir and Kristján Hreinsson.

A mountain biking course for beginners was also held, with tour guides Unnur Ósk Unnsteinsdóttir and Guðrún E. Jakobsdóttir.

In 2020, the Akureyri Tourist Association began organizing special physical activity projects in the spirit of FÍ. Those who participate in them register for a group for a specific project for a fee. The main goal of the groups is outdoor activities, tackling their own challenges and walking in good company. FFA aims to offer a variety of physical activity groups to meet the needs and wishes of as many people as possible. Therefore, all good suggestions are welcome.

The first FFA activity group was named Come out into the Icelandic summer and filled up quickly. The tour leaders were Anna Sigrún Rafnsdóttir and Kristján Hreinsson. The group began its journey in May 2020 and completed the project in September, managing to keep to the plan despite COVID-19. A great variety of trips characterized the project and more often than not, locals were invited to tell about the nature and history of the places. The group's project difficulty level was estimated at 2 points. It is planned to have a similar group in the summer of 2021.

Another hiking group began operations in September 2020. It was named More Mountains and it also filled up quickly. There, participants are challenged to hike in the mountains in winter and are expected to be at a difficulty level of 3 - 4 shoes. Participants receive, among other things, information about winter hiking equipment and insight and practice in using GPS devices in mountain hiking. The tour guides are Einar Bjarki Sigurjónsson and Christina Finke. The plan was to complete the project in December, but restrictions on the number of people due to COVID-19 have put a damper on the project. The project will therefore run until January 2021.

In early December 2020, a new project was introduced and advertised. It is a mountain skiing project that was simply named Fjallaskíðahópur FFA. That project will start in January 2021 if all goes well. There is a lot of interest in this group and fewer people got in than wanted. The tour guides are Kristín Irene Valdemarsdóttir and Jón Marinó Sævarsson.

No refunds will be given after the project has begun.

Participants travel at their own risk on FFA projects and trips. FFA does not insure its passengers or their luggage and encourages people to familiarize themselves with their own home insurance or purchase travel and accident insurance.
