Year-round
Okay, picture this: you're winding your way up to Lac de Plan d'Amont, a stunning alpine lake chilling at over 6,800 feet in the French Alps. You're smack-dab in the Vanoise National Park, surrounded by insane mountain views.
The D108 – aka Route des Barrages – is your path, and it's paved the whole way to the parking lot at the end. Heads up, though: the very last bit is paved but closed off to cars. This road's got some history – it was built back in the mid-20th century. And hold on tight because it's a climb! Some spots get pretty steep, pushing past an 11% grade.

hardTravel guide to the top of Vatnsskarð
🇮🇸 Iceland
Okay, picture this: Vatnsskarð, a mountain pass hanging out at 200 meters (656 feet) above sea level on the Reykjanesskagi Peninsula in southwest Iceland. The road to get there, Route 42, is a bit of a bumpy ride – all gravel, baby! Fair warning, this pass gets hammered with snow in the winter, so it's often closed. You'll definitely be climbing some pretty steep sections, so be prepared! But seriously, the views are totally worth it!
moderateHow to Cross Rivers in Iceland with a 4x4
🇮🇸 Iceland
Okay, so you're thinking about tackling Iceland's F-roads? Epic choice! These are the unpaved mountain routes that lead into the highlands, and they are seriously rugged. Think rocky tracks, river crossings, and total isolation. Here's the deal: these roads are ONLY open in summer, and ONLY for 4x4 vehicles. Seriously, your regular rental car isn't going to cut it, and even if you try, you won't be insured. River crossings are the biggest challenge. You need a 4x4 with serious clearance, plus some experience with fording. Always get out and scout the river first – check depth, current, and the riverbed itself. If the water's above your knees, don't even think about it. Look for wide, shallow spots, and if another vehicle goes through, watch how they do it. But a huge word of caution: river conditions change FAST, especially after rain or glacier melt. What's safe in the morning can be a raging torrent in the afternoon! Don't go it alone, and NEVER cross glacial rivers without expert help. Check the weather and road conditions religiously. When you do cross, use low gear, go slow (around 5 km/h), and keep a steady speed. Don't change gears mid-crossing. Angle slightly downstream to follow the current, and don't stop! If you stall, resist the urge to restart. Water might be in the engine. If you get properly stuck, call 112. Try to travel with another vehicle – safety in numbers! Tell someone your route, as many areas have zero cell service. And, of course, pack warm clothes, food, water, and an emergency kit. These roads are stunningly beautiful, but they demand respect and preparation!
extremeWhere is Col du Sanetsch?
🇨🇭 Switzerland
Col du Sanetsch: Prepare for breathtaking views and a thrilling ride up to 2,250m (7,381ft) in the Swiss Alps! You'll find this hidden gem in the canton of Valais, nestled at the foot of the Tzanfleuron Glacier. This fully paved road, also called Route du Sanetsch, kicks off with a steep climb through vineyards before plunging you into a lush, waterfall-filled forest. But the real adventure begins with an 800m tunnel – pitch black, damp, and barely lit, but with occasional openings offering incredible views (or a place to dodge oncoming traffic!). Starting from Conthey, the 25.9 km (16.09 miles) Route du Sanetsch is not for the faint of heart! It’s known for being the most demanding climb in Valais, with sections hitting a brutal 14.5% gradient. Think of it as Switzerland's answer to some crazy-steep climb. Open only from June to September, the drive itself takes about 45-60 minutes. You'll pass the stunning Lac de Sanetsch (or Lac de Sénin) along the way, a man-made lake created during the road's construction. Once you reach the summit, park your car and brace yourself – the wind can be fierce! The reward? Panoramic views, including the majestic Diableret glacier.
moderateDriving the wild road through the Shkopet Gorge
🇦🇱 Albania
Okay, road trip fans, listen up! Just a couple of hours north of Tirana, Albania, you'll find Gryka e Shkopetit, a mind-blowing canyon carved out by the Mat River. Seriously, this place is stunning! We're talking a narrow gorge, only about 60 meters long and 50 meters deep, slicing through the mountains that separate the Mat District from the coast. The road (SH6, if you're mapping it out) hugs the northern bank of the river for about 39.4 km (24.5 miles) as it winds from Road E851 to Road SH36. The road is paved, which is good, but it's still pretty narrow, so keep your eyes peeled! It's a total feast for the eyes too, though. Think untouched natural beauty everywhere you look, all nestled within the Ulza Regional Nature Park. Oh, and there's a dam there since way back in 1963! So, if you're up for a drive with views that'll make your jaw drop, Gryka e Shkopetit needs to be on your Albanian road trip itinerary. Trust me, your Instagram feed will thank you!
