History
Gásadalur was effectively isolated until a tunnel was completed in the 2000s; older routes were high-mountain trails used by villagers for centuries.
Conservation
The island’s fragile turf and bird colonies are sensitive to trampling—stick to established paths, carry out all waste, and follow local guidance on wildlife viewing.
