F210 Fjallabak syðri
Highlands · Highland mountain road · 4x4 only · updated
Current conditions
Partly closed - varies by stretch:
1 of 5 reported sections is impassable (about 15 km), so the road cannot be driven end to end. The rest is currently passable.
Updated · from Vegagerðin.
Typical opening
Opens around 29 Jun – 7 Jul
Rough; several unbridged rivers.
From Vegagerðin's 2021–2025 opening record (source) - not a guarantee. Each year's date is set after inspection and shifts with snowpack. Always confirm the live status before you drive.
Route length (estimate)
~121 km one-way · roughly 4h 1m - 6h 42m driving time
A rough planning range only, from the road's real length at two flat reference speeds - it does not account for weather, the road surface on the day (potholes, washboard, mud), time spent scouting and crossing rivers (each can add 15-60+ minutes), or pulling aside for oncoming traffic on single-lane stretches. Real trips on F210 can easily take longer. Always confirm the live status above and budget significant extra time.
