Traveling in Iceland

Iceland is ideal for exploring by rental car. Low traffic, easy navig­a­tion, and stun­ning scenery make driving a relaxed exper­i­ence. You remain completely inde­pendent and can visit the places you want, for as long as you like.

The Mystic Light Lodge is also best reached by car, as there is no public trans­port­a­tion to the vaca­tion homes.

Driving in Winter

The western coastal region where Mystic Light Lodge is located is relat­ively low in snow­fall and can usually be visited without diffi­culty even in winter. Road No. 60, which leads to our vaca­tion homes, is regu­larly cleared if it snows. Only in rare cases might the road have to be tempor­arily closed due to extremely bad weather condi­tions.

Gener­ally, it is advis­able not to plan long distances in winter and to remain flex­ible. Daylight hours are limited, and flex­ib­ility helps you avoid unne­ces­sary stress in the event of partic­u­larly stormy weather.

We recom­mend renting a car with four-wheel drive and studded winter tires.
