Before you drive
Local notes from the Færð og Veður team
The Ring Road is over 1,300 km long. In winter the sections most often slippery or closed are the mountain crossings: Hellisheiði in the south-west, Holtavörðuheiði and Öxnadalsheiði in the north, and Möðrudalsöræfi in the north-east. Each has its own page with weather and webcams.
The south and south-east coast is lower but exposed to strong gusts, notably under Eyjafjöll and around Öræfi below Vatnajökull.
Some stretches have long distances between towns and fuel. Check the next section before you set off, not just the one you are on.
