Okay, buckle up for the Bealach na Bà, Applecross! This legendary Scottish pass clocks in at around 11 miles of seriously twisty tarmac. Prepare to climb – we're talking a lung-busting ascent that tops out at over 2,000 feet!
Word to the wise: this isn't a Sunday drive for the faint of heart. Expect hairpin bends galore, some seriously steep gradients, and single-track sections that'll test your nerve. Oh, and did I mention the potential for sudden weather changes? Scotland, right?
But trust me, the reward is HUGE. The views from the summit are absolutely breathtaking. Think panoramic vistas of the Isle of Skye and the surrounding mountains. On a clear day, it's a photographer's dream. So, take it slow, stay alert, and get ready for an unforgettable driving experience. Just remember to pack your camera… and maybe a raincoat!

moderateDriving the wild road to Col de Joux
🇮🇹 Italy
# Col de Joux: A Hidden Alpine Gem Tucked away in northwestern Italy's Aosta Valley, Col de Joux (also called Col du Mont-Joux) sits pretty at 1,930m (6,332ft) and is absolutely worth the detour. Starting from Fossaz, you'll cruise along mostly paved roads until the final 550m, where you transition onto a well-maintained gravel section that adds a bit of adventure to the climb. Seriously, bring your camera for this one. As you wind up from Avise, Mont Blanc makes frequent appearances, stealing your breath with its sheer majesty. Keep climbing and the views just get better—you'll find yourself surrounded by the dramatic peaks that cradle the entire Aosta Valley. It's the kind of scenery that makes you pull over just to soak it all in. When you finally reach the summit, you'll discover a convenient parking lot and a charming small lake that's perfect for a quick stretch and some well-deserved photos. The whole experience feels like a rewarding secret that most travelers completely miss.
moderateWhere is Cumbre del Sol?
🇪🇸 Spain
Okay, picture this: Cumbre del Sol, a mountaintop that feels like you're touching the sky. Perched way up high in Alicante province, you'll find it nestled in the heart of the Marina Alta, near Benitachell. At the top, you're treated to some seriously stunning viewpoints! The road itself? Totally paved and in decent shape. It's a climb, though – about a mile long, and it really makes you work for it. We're talking an average gradient of around 10%, but don't let that fool you. It throws some seriously steep sections your way, with parts hitting a crazy 20%! That last kilometer really kicks it up a notch too. This climb has even been part of the Vuelta a España race, so you know it's legit. Get ready for switchbacks and some serious leg burn – but those views? Totally worth it!
hardA narrow paved road to Ortzanzurieta
🇪🇸 Spain
# Ortzanzurieta: A Thrilling Climb in Spain's Pyrenees Ready for a proper adventure? Ortzanzurieta sits pretty at 1,570m (5,150ft) in Navarre, Spain, just a stone's throw from the French border. This isn't your typical Sunday drive—it's the kind of road that'll get your adrenaline pumping. The route, known as NA-2033, kicks off from Puerto de Ibañeta (1,057m/3,468ft) and climbs 6km to the summit. Fair warning: this road's got character. It's fully paved, which sounds promising, but don't let that fool you. You'll encounter broken sections, zero central lines, and a width that'll make you white-knuckle your steering wheel. The grades are relentless too—never dipping below 8%, with some sections hitting a brutal 20% gradient. Set high in the Pyrenees—that dramatic mountain range cutting between France and Spain—this route serves up serious challenges alongside stunning alpine scenery. If you're after something genuinely testing that'll make for an incredible story back home, NA-2033 definitely delivers. Just take it slow, stay focused, and respect what the mountain throws at you.
moderateWhere is Col de la Madeleine?
🇫🇷 France
Col de la Madeleine: Picture yourself cruising through the French Alps in the Savoie department, because this is one mountain pass you won't want to miss! Sitting pretty at almost 2,000 meters, this beauty links the Maurienne and Tarentaise valleys. You'll find it nestled in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France, and the road itself? Totally paved and part of the Route des Grandes Alpes – so expect some serious scenery. Clocking in at just over 37 kilometers from Sainte-Marie-de-Cuines to La Léchère les Bains, it's a challenging climb, famous for its Tour de France cameos. Be warned, some ramps hit a thigh-burning 13.5% gradient! The climb from La Chambre is relentless, but the north side from Bonneval is a bit gentler. Keep an eye out for those kilometer markers showing how far to the top, your current altitude, and the slope ahead. Heads up: it's usually closed from November to June due to snow. But when it's open? The views of Mont Blanc and the Lauzière massifs are insane! If you're feeling extra adventurous, there’s a super-steep, unpaved road that branches off to a higher peak to the west – but maybe skip that one if you're not an experienced driver.
