We didn't have a SUV and made it fine. the road is a bit rough and ready but quite doable--just drive carefully.
Is Vestrahorn accessible in mid September, i.e. the 13th? Also can you drive to it, and if so is it and F road/need a 4x4 vehicle? Anyone do a tour to this location? Thank you in advanced!!

I concur with what Peter2780 said. We were there in September of 2018, had no problems navigating the area. One thing he didn't mention is that there is an abandoned movie set at the base of the mountain that you can explore. It's a short walk from the cafe. The best views of the mountain are from a point across the water which is accessible via the road/gate that he mentioned.

I think there is likely to be for the cafe but there is access to the site regardless of time as there is also a campsite there. There is an automatic barrier on the road leading up to the old air base which I believe is where most of the photographs are taken from, but I think there is a machine on the side of the café to buy a ticket which lifts the barrier for access. The barrier automatically lifts on the way out.
