The Westfjords Roadway
Experience this spin on the classic Westfjords Way Route, made for those taking their first multi-day tour or want to stay mostly on tarmac.
8-12 Day Tour
At 850 km and 18% gravel, the Westfjords Roadway is a great route option for riders looking to push their riding to new limits and experience the Westfjords while staying on more predictable roads. It stays mainly on the traditional course of the Westfjords Way, but stops at more villages. As with all of our routes, you will traverse some of the best scenery, hot pots, cafes and waterfalls the Westfjords has to offer. But keep in mind that the Westfjords’ weather has a mind of its own and adequate preparation is required for spending multiple days on the road.
The route is about 850 km long with 11,300 meters of elevation gain. On-route, you will have the opportunity to rack up 300 passport points in cultural stops. But keep in mind, you can always make changes to the route using our point system as a guide for recommended stops.
