Year-round
Col Nord des Lacs is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.533m (8,310ft) above the sea level, located in the Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
The surface of the road to the summit is rocky with lots of slippery gravel. It’s pretty steep and deserted. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. At the summit there are spectacular views and two lakes: Lac Bramant and Lac Blanc. In the far distance you can see the Glacier de St. Sorlin.

hardSa Crabarissa
🇮🇹 Italy
# Sa Crabarissa: The Woman in the Rocks Tucked away in Sardinia's Provincia di Nuoro lies Sa Crabarissa, a stunning natural landmark that actually looks like a woman carved into the landscape. If you're up for an adventure, this is definitely worth the trip. The route to reach her is about 7.6km of pure rugged beauty. You'll be cruising on gravel roads—definitely bring a proper 4WD vehicle for this one. Fair warning: the road is narrow and twisty, so if you're not comfortable with reversing, this might not be the drive for you. But if you've got the skills and the nerve, you're in for a treat. As you climb through the Mandrolisai mountains toward the 713m summit, prepare yourself for some seriously jaw-dropping scenery. The elevation gain is real, and the terrain is steep, but that's what makes it so spectacular. This is photographer's paradise—bring a camera with plenty of memory space, fully charged batteries, and be ready to snap some incredible shots. The vistas alone are worth every twist and turn of the journey. The best part? Once you reach the top, there's actually a large parking area where you can safely park and take your time soaking in the view. It's the perfect reward after conquering the mountain road.
hardColle della Portula
🇮🇹 Italy
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Colle della Portula in Italy's Aosta Valley is calling your name! This isn't your average Sunday drive – we're talking a climb up to 2,449 meters (that's over 8,000 feet!). Picture this: you're winding your way up a rugged, gravel track in the Orobian Alps. It's rocky, it's bumpy, and yeah, it might get a little tippy. Honestly, it's usually a no-go from October to June thanks to the weather, and even summer can throw some snow your way. Winter? Forget about it – brutally cold doesn't even begin to cover it! This trail is definitely one for experienced off-roaders with a 4x4. If unpaved mountain roads make you nervous, maybe sit this one out. Also, heights? They're kind of a thing here. Expect some seriously steep climbs, and keep an eye on the weather – thunderstorms can turn this track into a four-wheel-drive-only zone, or even make it totally impassable! Oh, and did I mention the wind? It's pretty much always howling up here. But hey, the views are supposed to be incredible!
moderateBassa della Sella, a Most Tricky Scenic Road
🇨🇭 Switzerland
# Bassa della Sella: A Swiss Alpine Adventure Perched at a breathtaking 2,138 meters (7,014 feet) in Ticino, Switzerland, Bassa della Sella is a high mountain pass that feels like stepping into another world. The journey starts right from Passo del San Gottardo, and let me tell you—it's absolutely worth the drive. The road itself is mostly paved, though you'll quickly realize this is proper old-school alpine terrain. It winds and snakes its way up the mountainside with sections so narrow that two cars passing each other would require some serious maneuvering. What really gets your heart pumping? Many stretches run dangerously close to water with zero guardrails to cushion any mistakes. Winter visits are a no-go unless the road's been freshly cleared of snow—mother nature has the final say here. Here's the thing though: you'll share this route mostly with hikers and mountain enthusiasts rather than other vehicles. The peaceful atmosphere is almost surreal, with hardly a car in sight (though keep your eyes peeled just in case). It's the kind of road where you can actually breathe and appreciate the raw beauty surrounding you. But the adventure doesn't end at the pass. Beyond the summit lies Lago della Sella, a stunning high mountain reservoir sitting even higher at 2,297 meters (7,536 feet). It's the perfect reward for tackling this epic alpine route.
moderateWhat are the highest roads in Wales?
🇬🇧 Wales
Okay, picture this: Wales. Seriously rugged, seriously gorgeous. It's that western chunk of Great Britain, all mountains and coastline, bumping up against England on one side. Forget flat farmland – we're talking Cambrian Mountains marching across the center and north, and the Brecon Beacons throwing down in the south. What does all that mean for us road trippers? Epic mountain passes carved into the landscape, winding roads that snake around ancient peaks and plunge into deep valleys. This isn't just driving; it's an adventure! Think you've seen the best the British Isles have to offer? Wales is waiting to prove you wrong with some seriously stunning, high-altitude routes. Get ready for some challenging and scenic driving!
