extremeRoad trip guide: Conquering Montagut
🇪🇸 Spain
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! I've got a hidden gem for you: El Montagut, a seriously cool peak nestled in Catalonia's Tarragona province, Spain. We're talking 948 meters (that's over 3,100 feet!) of pure, scenic bliss in the Serra del Montmell range. The journey starts in Querol, and the first 4.4 kilometers are a smooth ride, but hold on tight! The last kilometer to the top? It's unpaved, baby! You'll definitely want a 4x4 for this final push. And get ready for a leg workout! This road is STEEP, with some sections clocking in at a whopping 13% gradient. Over just 5.4 kilometers, you'll climb 405 meters, averaging a 7.5% grade. Trust me, the views are worth every pant and groan. At the summit, you'll find the ruins of a castle that dates back to 990 and a rad lookout tower. Don't miss the Esglesia de Sant Jaume de Montagut nearby, a super old chapel that involves yet another brutally steep climb. So, pack your camera, your sense of adventure, and get ready for an unforgettable off-the-beaten-path experience!
hardLago di Neves
🇮🇹 Italy
Lago di Neves is a stunning high mountain reservoir perched at a breathtaking 1,866 meters (6,122 feet) in South Tyrol, northern Italy. The drive up to this alpine gem is definitely not for the faint of heart – we're talking seriously narrow roads and steep grades that hit 22% in some spots. It's the kind of drive that'll get your adrenaline pumping and your knuckles white on the steering wheel. Fair warning: this route is typically shut down during winter months, so you'll want to plan your visit for May onwards when it reopens. If you're up for a thrilling mountain road adventure with jaw-dropping alpine scenery, this one's absolutely worth adding to your bucket list.
hardPas de l'Escalier
🇫🇷 France
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! You HAVE to check out Pas de l'Escalier in the French Pyrenees. We're talking about a wild ride up to 1,907 meters (that's 6,256 feet!) in the stunning Ariège department. Now, fair warning: this isn't your Sunday drive kinda road. It's gravelly and rocky, so think off-road vibes, not autobahn. Definitely a no-go in winter. If unpaved, steep mountain roads aren't your thing, maybe skip this one. A 4x4 is highly recommended. And if you're afraid of heights? Well, let's just say you'll get a good dose of adrenaline! But hey, the scenery is absolutely worth it. Get ready for some killer views!
hardTossa d'Alp
🇪🇸 Spain
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! I just tackled La Tossa, a.k.a. Tossa d’Alp, and let me tell you, this peak in the Spanish Pyrenees (Catalonia, to be exact) is a beast! We're talking 2,535 meters (8,316 feet) up – seriously high! The road? Well, "road" is a generous term. It's more like a rocky, bumpy, gravelly trail – a chairlift access trail, no less! Definitely not for the faint of heart (or those with low-clearance vehicles – 4x4 REQUIRED!). Think steep inclines, potential mud baths if it's wet, and maybe keep away if heights aren't your thing. Winter? Forget about it – impassable! But the views, people, the views! You're smack-dab in the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. And at the top, you'll find the Refugi Niu d'Àliga Shelter, supposedly the highest mountain shelter in the whole Pyrenees! This climb is made for experienced off-roaders looking for a challenge and some seriously breathtaking scenery. Just be prepared!
