F550 Kaldidalur
West Highlands · Highland mountain road · 4x4 only · updated
Current conditions
Open.
Updated · from Vegagerðin.
Typical opening
Opens around 13 Jun
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)
~50 km one-way · roughly 1h 40m - 2h 47m 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 F550 can easily take longer. Always confirm the live status above and budget significant extra time.
