The road to the summit is mostly asphalted. It’s pretty steep (over 11%). Located between Hornafjörður and Lón, the summit offers stunning coastline views. The pass was regularly closed during the winter because of snow, so in 2005, a tunnel called Almannaskarðsgöng bypassed the old road. The pass is still accessible to vehicles throughout the summer months, though the south-west ramp is now closed to the public.
