moderateMuro di Sormano is one of the hardest and most epic climbs
🇮🇹 Italy
# Muro di Sormano: The Italian Climb That'll Make You Question Everything Nestled in Sormano, a small municipality in the Province of Como, you'll find one of cycling's most brutally beautiful challenges: Muro di Sormano. This isn't just a steep hill—it's basically a vertical wall on wheels, and honestly, it's kind of legendary. Located in Lombardy in northern Italy, this fully paved 1.9km (1.18 mile) climb is exclusively for cyclists (no motor vehicles allowed, thankfully). Starting and ending at Strada Provinciale 44, it ascends to 1,116 meters (3,661 feet) above sea level, but don't let that distance fool you. Here's where it gets wild: Muro di Sormano averages a jaw-dropping 17% gradient, with sections that hit *over 27%*. We're talking almost-vertical territory. Back in the 1960s when it featured in three editions of the Tour of Lombardy, riders were literally getting off their bikes and walking—or getting pushed up by spectators. It was that intense. After its brief stint as a cycling sensation, the climb fell into obscurity and disrepair for over 40 years. But in 2006, a passionate group of local cyclists decided it deserved better. They raised €150,000 to completely resurface and restore it to glory. Now? It's back, meaner than ever, and absolutely worth the punishment if you're brave enough to tackle it.
hardUghviri Pass in the Caucasus is a drive worth taking
🇬🇪 Georgia
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! You HAVE to check out Pereval Ugyr! This mountain pass is a hidden gem in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region of western Georgia. We're talking serious Caucasus Mountain vibes here. The road snakes its way up to 1,930 meters (that's 6,332 feet!), and while it's paved, don't expect a leisurely cruise. Get ready for a wild ride with 11 hairpin turns that'll test your driving skills. Clocking in at just 9 kilometers (or about 5.5 miles) between Bogreshi and Majvdieri, this south-to-north route packs a punch. It's STEEP, people, with gradients hitting a maximum of 11% in places. But trust me, the views are totally worth it! Just keep your eyes on the road, and get ready for an unforgettable journey.
hardWhere is Seçedil Dağı?
🇹🇷 Turkey
Hey fellow roadtrippers! Let me tell you about a seriously epic drive in the Şavşat District of Turkey, one of the highest roads in the whole country. You'll find this stunner nestled in the northeastern part of Turkey. Heads up: this road is completely unpaved, so you'll need a good vehicle. It's packed with curves, including nine seriously tight hairpin turns that will test your driving skills! The road stretches for what feels like forever, climbing drastically in elevation. The average gradient keeps things interesting, and if you're feeling *really* adventurous, there's a smaller, even more challenging gravel road that branches off to the west and takes you even higher. Keep in mind that because it's set high in the Kackar Mountains, this road is usually closed during the winter. But when it's open? The views are absolutely breathtaking!
extremeWhat is the BAM in Siberia?
🌍 Russia
Looking for the ultimate off-road adventure? Then BAM Road in Siberia needs to be on your radar! This isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking about a roughly 4,324 km (2,687 mi) beast of a trail that follows the Baikal–Amur Mainline railway through the wildest parts of Russia. Imagine this: you, your trusted off-road vehicle or adventure motorcycle, and mile after mile of rugged Siberian landscape. This former railway service track has seen better days, to say the least. Think broken wooden bridges, waist-deep river crossings, and sections so remote you'll feel like you're the only person on Earth. Speaking of challenges, the BAM road throws them at you left and right: rickety bridges, boggy terrain that sucks you in, and the ever-present risk of encountering a train while riding across a railway bridge. And let's not forget the infamous Vitim River Bridge, a nerve-wracking 570-meter (1870 feet) long crossing that will test your courage. The best time to tackle this epic route is during the summer months (June to August), but even then, be prepared for unpredictable weather. Rain can quickly turn the track into a muddy mess. The BAM road is not for the faint of heart, but for those seeking a true test of skill and endurance, it's an experience you'll never forget.
