Frodarheidi (Fróðárheiði) Mountain Route

Frodarheidi (Fróðárheiði) Mountain Route

It is a beautiful drive over Frodarheidi through magnificent mountain scenery. This route lies east of Snaefellsjokull, near the tip of Snaefellsnes, and connects the north and south coasts of the peninsula.  

At the highest point, you can pull off the road for a photo stop. On the way across the pass, you'll note an orange colored mountain hut, a shelter for people to use when traveling during the winter months should the weather turn bad. 

On the north side, the tarmac gives way to gravel on the steepest section and extra care is needed. 

The route is not recommended in winter.
