moderateWhat’s at Mirador Del Rio?
🇪🇸 Spain
Get ready for breathtaking views from Mirador Del Rio, perched high on Lanzarote's northern tip! This isn't just any viewpoint; it's an experience. At the summit, you'll find a spot to soak it all in and even explore a historic artillery battery from way back when. Keep an eye out for the wind sculpture by César Manrique, a nod to the island's wind and rock. The road up, LZ-201, aka the "Mirador Del Rio Scenic Road", is paved but cozy – just wide enough for two cars to squeeze by. It's a little over 3 miles long, climbing around 1400 feet, so you'll definitely feel the elevation change. The average gradient is a manageable 8%, but caravans beware, the winds can be fierce! Trust me, the panoramic views are worth the drive. On a clear day, you'll be treated to sights of La Graciosa and the Chinijo Islands National Park. Definitely bring your camera – this is one road trip you'll want to remember! Be warned though, it can get busy during peak times.
hardA memorable road trip to Lago di Place Moulin
🇮🇹 Italy
Lago di Place Moulin is a stunning high mountain reservoir perched at 1,968m (6,456ft) in the Aosta Valley region of northwest Italy. The drive from Bionaz kicks off on a paved road that's definitely on the narrow side with some genuinely steep pitches—but that's exactly what makes it so special. This is one of those classic winding mountain drives that'll have you grinning the whole way up. Most of the route follows a decent-sized road with minimal traffic and surprisingly few hairpin turns. Instead, you'll cruise slowly uphill through charming little villages, each with their own cute town signs proudly displaying the altitude. The lake itself sits nestled in the Bionaz valley, making for picture-perfect surroundings. Once you reach the lake, things get a bit more rugged. A rough dirt road branches off toward a high mountain refuge at 2,005m, and if you're up for it, this gravel stretch is worth exploring. The 4.6km route is surprisingly well-maintained for several kilometers, offering gorgeous views along the narrow lake before things get rougher toward the far end.
hardFort de la Platte
🇫🇷 France
# Fort de la Platte: A Wild Alpine Adventure Perched at a breathtaking 2,009 meters (6,591 feet) in the Savoie department of southeastern France's Rhône-Alpes region, Fort de la Platte is an absolute gem for adventurous drivers. This 19th-century military fortress, constructed between 1892 and 1894, sits at the end of one seriously challenging road that'll test your driving skills and nerve. Fair warning: this isn't your typical Sunday cruise. The route to the fortress is a gravel affair that climbs steeply through relentless hairpin turns on a ribbon-thin path. Once the rain starts falling or snow begins to stick, you can forget about it—the road becomes completely impassable. Honestly, a 4x4 vehicle isn't just recommended; it's pretty much essential if you want to make it to the top in one piece. But here's the thing—if you've got the guts and the right vehicle, the payoff is absolutely worth it. The dramatic alpine scenery and the sheer adrenaline rush of conquering this notorious route make it an unforgettable experience for those willing to embrace the challenge.
moderateA steep paved road to the summit of Collado El Gavilan in Teruel
🇪🇸 Spain
# Collado El Gavilán: A Spanish Mountain Adventure Tucked away in Teruel's stunning Aragon region, Collado El Gavilán is a seriously scenic mountain pass sitting pretty at 1,517 meters (4,977 feet) above sea level. This northeastern Spanish gem is one you'll definitely want to add to your bucket list. The TE-V-6006 is your ticket to the top—a 16.6-kilometer (10.31-mile) paved route that winds its way from Camarena de la Sierra over to La Puebla de Valverde, running west to east across the majestic Sierra de Javalambre mountain range. Fair warning: you'll encounter some seriously steep sections pushing up to 10.7%, so come prepared with good brakes and an adventurous spirit. Here's the best part: this pass stays open year-round, so you can tackle it whenever the mood strikes. Whether you're a road-tripper chasing mountain views or a driver who loves a good challenge, Collado El Gavilán delivers on both fronts with breathtaking scenery and a road that'll definitely get your adrenaline pumping.
