If you’re planning a summer 4×4 self-drive in Iceland, you want to make sure you get the most out of your trip. We all know that Iceland is breathtakingly beautiful, with so much to discover – but are you planning on taking the most efficient and varied route? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if I were to tell you that you can squeeze in even more spectacular sights by including the mountain roads. These rough, Summer only tracks open up a totally different side of Iceland that you haven’t seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Iceland travel guide will help you get a little extra from your 4×4 self drive with a couple of itinerary suggestions as well as some remote road recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, these mountain roads open from late June until September, offering a unique perspective and experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here’s the catch: many of these roads are gravel with deep holes and require a special set of tires and equipment. You have to rent a 4×4 if you’re planning to include the Highlands on your Iceland summer self-drive. It is illegal to drive a regular car on these mountain roads. These roads are marked with an F in front of the number. For example, F35.<\/p>\n\n\n
