Before you drive
Local notes from the Færð og Veður team
Holtavörðuheiði and Öxnadalsheiði are the two mountain crossings on the way north, and the parts of this drive most likely to be slippery or closed. Check both before you leave Reykjavík.
Just north of Reykjavík the route goes through Hvalfjarðargöng, the tunnel under Hvalfjörður.
