The Snæfellsnesvegur is a main road in the west of Iceland . It runs on the Snæfellsnes peninsula .

The Snæfellsnesvegur is now 229 kilometers long. Only Grundarfjörður is located directly on it . This road leads to Ólafsvík on Útnesvegur and Stykkishólmur via Stykkishólmsvegur . From 1972 to 2000, only the road along the north coast was called Snæfellsnesvegur and was number 57 . At that time the Ólafsvíkurvegur reached from Borgarnes to Ólafsvík.

The road branches off from Hringvegur in Borgarnes . It initially runs in the south of the peninsula in a westerly direction. From there the Heydalsvegur and the Vatnaleið branch off to the north. At the Búðavík the Snæfellsnesvegur changes over the Fróðárheiði to the north side of Snæfellsnes. The Útnesvegur runs further along the coast, also around Snæfellsjökull . An unpaved section of the road begins on Fróðárheiði by Lake Valavatn. This extends to the confluence of the Útnesvegurs .

The road now leads east again past Kirkjufellsfoss and runs through Grundarfjörður. The fjords Kolgrafafjörður and Hraunsfjörður do not have to be bypassed any further because of Dämmeb and bridges. The Vatnaleið from the south joins the Snæfellsnesvegur again. This merges into the Stykkishólmsvegur , the one to Stykkishólmur with the Baldur ferry in the Westfjords . The further course of the road branches off to the east and is largely unpaved on the further route. The bridges in this section are mostly old and only have one lane. The Álftafjörður is circled. From the south, the Heydalsvegur meets the Snæfellsnesvegur again. In Hvammsfjörður the road ends at Vestfjarðavegur .
