Year-round
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in the French Alps, in the Savoie region, lies Sétaz des Près, a seriously stunning peak reaching 2,314 meters (7,591 feet). This isn't your average Sunday drive, though.
We're talking a rocky, gravel track that's basically a ski lift service road during the winter. Think super steep – some sections crank up to a 30% gradient! It's located in the wild Massif des Cercesrange, so expect epic scenery.
The catch? This road is ONLY accessible for a super-short window in late August. And even then, be prepared for anything. We're talking potentially brutal winds (they whip through here year-round), and even snow in summer isn't unheard of. Basically, you need to be ready for anything. It's steep, loose, rocky, and challenging, but that view from the top? Totally worth it.

hardCol de la Biche
🇫🇷 France
Okay, buckle up for Col de la Biche, a crazy-steep mountain pass in eastern France's Ain department! This baby hits an elevation of 1,310m (that's 4,297ft for my American friends). You'll be cruising the D123, a narrow ribbon of asphalt winding through the stunning Massif du Jura. Watch out, though, because some sections of this climb are seriously steep, reaching up to 13.6%! Even the Tour de France has tackled this beast. You've got three ways to conquer Col de la Biche: * **From Talissieu:** A 19.17 km climb with 1,070 meters of elevation gain, averaging 5.5%. * **From Artemare:** A slightly longer 20.5 km ascent, gaining 1,065 meters at an average of 5.2%. * **From Gigniez:** The shortest but perhaps most intense route, stretching 13.8 km with 958 meters of climbing and a 6.9% average grade. No matter which way you go, get ready for some breathtaking scenery and a serious workout for your legs (or your car's engine!).
moderateWhere is the Felbertauern Tunnel?
🇦🇹 Austria
Cruising through Austria and want to avoid those crazy high alpine passes? Check out the Felbertauerntunnel! Nestled between Salzburg and Tyrol, inside the stunning Hohe Tauern National Park, this tunnel clocks in at a cool 1,650m (5,413ft) above sea level. Before this beauty opened in '67, getting from East Tyrol to Innsbruck was a trek through either South Tyrol or over the Großglockner High Alpine Road (only open in summer!). But now, you can zip right through this 5.3 km (3.3 mile) marvel. The whole Felbertauern road (B 108) experience is about 65 km (40 miles) from Mittersill to Lienz. The road is fully paved and shielded by avalanche galleries, making it a pretty smooth ride. While gradients can hit 9.3% in places, most of the route is modern and easy to handle. Plus, it's generally open year-round, so you can enjoy those mountain views no matter the season. Just be ready for a toll – it's worth it!
moderateIs the road to Arinsal Ski Resort paved?
🌍 Andorra
Okay, adventure awaits in Andorra! We're heading high into the Pyrenees to the Arinsal Ski Resort. The road, known as CS-413, takes you through the parish of La Massana and it's paved, so no need for off-road tires, but it can get a bit narrow in spots. This 4.5km (2.79 miles) climb starts from the CG-5 road and gains 375 meters in elevation, with some seriously steep sections hitting a maximum gradient of 19.2%! That gives you an average gradient of 8.33%. The views are totally worth it though. Picture this: you're winding your way up, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. You'll be riding high, topping out at 1,922 meters (6,305 feet) above sea level. Get ready for some breathtaking vistas!
hardWhere is Orrido della Val Taleggio?
🇮🇹 Italy
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through the Italian Alps, specifically the Bergamo province, when BAM! You stumble upon the Orrido della Val Taleggio – a mind-blowing canyon carved out by the raging river. This road, Strada Provinciale 25 (SP25), is pure driving bliss (if you're up for a challenge). Built way back when by some electrical company (go figure!), it's completely paved but get ready for a wild ride! We're talking a non-stop party of curves and bridges clinging to the side of the Enna river, which has spent centuries sculpting this epic gorge. Seriously, the road is literally carved into the rock face! The gnarliest part of this adventure is only a few kilometers long, snaking its way from west to east. Think of it as Italy's answer to those crazy balcony roads in France! It's super narrow, with blind corners aplenty. Leave the SUV at home – a motorbike is your best bet. Just keep an eye out for falling rocks, and, for goodness sake, don't get distracted by the INCREDIBLE scenery!
