hardHow to reach Pas des Chapelets from Courchevel?
🇫🇷 France
Cruising through the French Alps? You've GOT to check out the climb from Courchevel up to Pas des Chapelets. It's tucked away in the Savoie, right in the heart of the Tarentaise Valley, inside the stunning Vanoise National Park. Okay, so getting there isn't exactly a Sunday drive. We're talking around 8 kilometers of serious switchbacks – like, FIFTEEN hairpin turns that'll keep you on your toes! The road starts paved, but heads up, it turns to gravel as you climb towards the ski station. A bit of ground clearance on your vehicle is a major plus for those final, bumpy stretches. Keep in mind, this is primarily a service road for the ski lifts, so it's a no-go in winter when it's covered in snow and skiers. But in summer? The views are absolutely unreal from the top. At over 2,300 meters, you’ll be overlooking the whole of Vanoise National Park with views of jagged peaks and alpine meadows. Seriously breathtaking. The air gets thin up there, and the weather can flip on a dime, so be prepared! Heads up on the hazards: the gradients are STEEP. Plus, the road gets narrow, and you might be sharing it with maintenance trucks, mountain bikers, and hikers. Those hairpins demand your full attention, and the gravel sections can be a bit loose. Definitely give your brakes a check before heading down; that descent is a long one!
hardLago Layet
🇮🇹 Italy
Lago Layet is a stunning high mountain lake sitting pretty at 2,273 meters (7,457 feet) above sea level in the Valle d'Aosta region of northwestern Italy. Fair warning: the road to this alpine gem is no joke. You're looking at a gravel and rocky route that's narrow, winding, and seriously bumpy in stretches. This isn't your typical scenic drive—it demands respect and serious off-road credentials. We're talking 4x4 required, no exceptions. The steep grades will make your palms sweat, and if heights aren't your thing, you might want to reconsider this adventure altogether. The road is pretty much off-limits from October through May due to snow and weather conditions, so summer is your window. Wet conditions can turn this already challenging terrain into a muddy, slippery nightmare. This trail is built for experienced wheelers who know their way around unpaved mountain roads. If high-altitude, technical driving isn't in your skillset, save this one for another bucket list worthy enough to justify the skill upgrade.
hardGorges des Gats: A Balcony Road in France
🇫🇷 France
# Gorges des Gats Picture this: a stunning canyon carved by the Ruisseau des Gats river winding through the Drôme department in southeastern France. Welcome to Gorges des Gats, one of the country's most famous balcony roads and a seriously unforgettable driving experience. Nestled in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, this place is absolutely magical. The gorge itself is riddled with an intricate network of subterranean caves—some of which you can actually explore if you're keen on a bit of underground adventure. The fully paved D539 (also called Route Joseph Reynaud) has been cutting through this dramatic landscape since September 25th, 1910. Stretching 10.2 km (6.33 miles) from Châtillon-en-Diois to Glandage, it's not your typical Sunday drive. The road literally clings to the mountainside, and let's be real—it's not for the faint of heart. Fair warning: this route is genuinely challenging. In places, it's so narrow that two cars simply can't pass each other. If tight spaces and sheer drops make you nervous, this might test your confidence. But if you're up for the challenge, you'll navigate through 15 rock tunnels carved right into the mountainside, all while taking in some seriously dramatic scenery. It's a road that demands respect but rewards you with views and thrills you won't forget.

Starting from the D58 road, you're looking at a 2.1 km ascent with 68 meters of elevation gain. The average gradient sits at a manageable 3.23%, but don't get too comfortable—it hits a max slope of 9% at its steepest points. So whether you're carving on two wheels or four, 17 Turns of Chevreuse delivers the kind of technical, engaging ride that gets riders coming back for more.
