Snæfellsleið

A hard-rated road leading to the highest point reachable by vehicle in Iceland, with glacier hiking possible from the end of the road.

High-altitude and exposed — expect colder, more variable conditions than lower-elevation F-roads.

It's on record as the road that gets a vehicle closer to this elevation than any other route in Iceland — glacier hiking picks up where the driveable road ends.

Multiple glacial river crossings are noted. Glacial rivers rise later in the day as melt increases, so check conditions carefully and don't assume morning levels hold into the afternoon.
