Year-round
Alright, adventurers, let's talk about the Col de Rioupes, a seriously cool mountain pass tucked away in the Hautes-Alpes of southeastern France! We're talking Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur vibes here.
So, the road, aka the D17, is paved the whole way, which is a win. But don't get too comfy—there are some spots where the gradient kicks up to 8%. Keep your eyes peeled as you wind your way up to the tippy-top at 1,430 meters (that's 4,691 feet for my American friends!). Expect stunning scenery, and, you know, the usual mountain road fun. Get ready for some tight turns and breathtaking views!

hardKitzsteinhorn
🇦🇹 Austria
# Kitzsteinhorn: Austria's Alpine Adventure Perched at a breathtaking 2,738 meters (8,982 feet) in the Austrian Alps southwest of Salzburg, Kitzsteinhorn is calling your name. This isn't your typical Sunday drive—it's an exhilarating chairlift access trail that rewards the brave. Fair warning: this route is definitely not for the faint of heart. The path to the summit is rocky and gravelly, with a slope that'll make your palms sweat. Loose stones scatter the trail, and things get seriously steep and technical as you climb higher. The ski-station service road kicks it up another notch with gradients hitting up to 20% in places—your engine (and nerves) will feel every bit of it. Timing is everything here. You're looking at a very narrow window to tackle this beast—basically late August when summer conditions are just right. Miss it, and you're waiting until next year. But here's the payoff: stunning, panoramic views of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier that'll make every white-knuckle moment absolutely worth it. This is the kind of drive that becomes a story you tell for years. Just make sure you're prepared, respect the mountain, and bring your A-game. Kitzsteinhorn doesn't do casual.
moderateBarbacana Pass
🇮🇹 Italy
Alright adventure-seekers, let's talk about Passo Barbacana! This wild ride straddles the Italian-French border in the Alpes-Maritimes, clocking in at a cool 2,180m (7,152ft). Here's the deal: you can drive up from the Italian side, but the French side is strictly for hikers. Think gravel, rocks, and a whole lotta bumps – this ain't your average Sunday drive. It's an old military road that's usually snowed in during winter. If you're an experienced off-roader, this is your playground! Newbies might want to sit this one out. Perched at the top is an abandoned military fortress steeped in history, a relic of the Franco-Hispanic campaign of 1744. You'll need a 4x4, and a good head for heights. The trail's pretty steep (think 13-15% inclines), and it can get muddy if it's wet. But trust me, the scenery is worth it! Picture stunning lakes and vibrant colors popping up all around.
hardTossa d'Alp
🇪🇸 Spain
# Tossa d'Alp: A Wild Mountain Adventure in Catalonia Ready for some serious off-road action? Tossa d'Alp is a beast of a peak sitting at 2,535m (8,316ft) in the heart of Catalonia's Spanish Pyrenees. It's legitimately one of Spain's highest drivable roads, and honestly, it's not for the faint of heart. The route to the summit—locals call it La Tossa—is raw, unfiltered mountain driving. We're talking gravel, rocks, washboard terrain, and sections that'll test your suspension (and your nerve). It doubles as a chairlift access trail, which tells you something about the terrain. Winter? Forget about it—this road is completely impassable when snow rolls in. Here's the real talk: you'll need a 4x4 with serious clearance, and you need to know what you're doing. If unpaved mountain roads make you sweat, keep scrolling. The climb is genuinely steep, and if heights aren't your thing, maybe save this one for another trip. Throw in some rain, and that muddy surface becomes a legitimate puzzle. But if you're an experienced wheeler looking for something wild, this is your playground. The payoff? You'll find the Refugi Niu d'Àliga Shelter at the summit—reportedly the highest mountain shelter in the entire Pyrenees. Tucked within the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, the scenery is absolutely stunning. Just come prepared, come skilled, and come ready for an unforgettable ride.
hardTransursoaia is one of the Romanian high-altitude roads
🇷🇴 Romania
Okay, road trip lovers, buckle up for Transursoaia (aka DN1R) in Romania! This beauty straddles Cluj and Alba counties and carves right through the Apuseni Natural Park in northern Romania. Picture this: mostly paved roads winding through stunning mountain scenery (though you might hit a gravel patch or two). Seriously, daytime drives are a MUST for those epic views. This isn't a Sunday cruise, though. Get ready for some steep climbs and no less than 15 hairpin turns! Plus, a few sections get a little *squeezy*, so keep your eyes peeled. The Transursoaia clocks in at around 80 km (50 miles), stretching from Albac in the south all the way up to Huedin in the north. And hold on to your hats, because you'll be climbing to a whopping 1,324 meters (4,343 feet) at the Ursoaia Pass! Just a heads-up: Mother Nature usually shuts this one down between November and April, so plan your trip accordingly!
