Year-round
Okay, adventure seekers, let me tell you about the Tunnel de Gueule Rouge on Réunion Island – a tiny French paradise in the Indian Ocean. Picture this: you're cruising along the Route Nationale nº5, heading between Saint-Louis and Cilaos, when BAM! You're faced with this super-tight, old-school tunnel.
We're talking a mere 114.54 meters long, but don't let that fool you. This thing was built back in 1938, and its height is only 3m. It's so narrow that only one car can squeeze through at a time, so prepare to hold your breath (or maybe coordinate with oncoming traffic). The road surface is asphalt, so that's good. But seriously, get ready for an unforgettable, slightly claustrophobic, but totally worth it experience!

moderateWhere is Belmeken Reservoir?
🌍 Bulgaria
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through Bulgaria's Pazardzhik Province, heading towards a hidden gem called Belmeken Reservoir. Perched way up at 1,932m (that's 6,338ft!), this place is seriously stunning. You'll find it tucked away near Velingrad, right in the heart of Rila National Park in the southwest of the country. Belmeken, meaning "Famous place", is the highest dam lake in the Balkans! Construction finished in the early 70s, and the area's now perfect for picnics, fishing, and biking. The road up is a paved ribbon winding through these gorgeous old coniferous woods. Keep your eyes peeled for potholes! It's not super busy, but it can get a bit tight if you meet another car. And get this—it's got 12 hairpin turns, so it's been part of the WRC Rally Bulgaria! Starting from Sestrimo, it's a 25.8km (16.03mi) climb with an elevation gain of 1,303 meters. That's an average gradient of 5.05%. And if you keep going south of the dam, there's a minor paved road that peaks even higher at 2,062m (6,765ft). You're basically on top of the world! This is also one of the highest roads in Bulgaria, alongside Kalin Reservoir.

extremeDiscovering the narrow steep road to Col du Sabot in France
🇫🇷 France
# Col du Sabot Tucked away in the Isère département of southeastern France, Col du Sabot sits pretty at 2,100m (6,889ft) in the heart of the Central French Alps. This pass is part of the stunning Oisans region, just beyond the famous Alpe d'Huez. The adventure kicks off from Vaujany, a charming ski station, and winds upward for 10.2 km (6.33 miles) through gorgeous alpine pastures. Fair warning: this climb doesn't mess around. You'll encounter some seriously steep stretches with gradients hitting 15.6% at their gnarliest. What you're dealing with is a narrow, single-lane tarmac road that's seen better days, complete with 17 hairpin turns and some pretty vertiginous drop-offs. The asphalt is a bit worn and patchy, with occasional gravel and loose stones adding to the challenge—especially on the way down. Keep your wits about you and take it slow. The reward? A small parking lot at the top and a quick 100-meter walk that opens up to spectacular views of the Croix de Fer reservoir. Traffic is typically light, so you'll have the road mostly to yourself to soak in the Alpine scenery. It's demanding, it's technical, but it's absolutely worth the effort if you're up for a proper mountain driving experience.
hardA66 to Stainmore Summit is a defiant road in bad weather
🇬🇧 England
Alright, adventure-seekers, let's talk about Stainmore Summit! This mountain pass sits pretty on the border between Cumbria and County Durham, England, clocking in at a cool 443 meters (1,453 feet) above sea level. You'll be cruising on the A66, a major, totally paved A-road that cuts right across the north of England, linking Middlesbrough to Workington. The pass itself, also known as Stainmore Gap, is a 21.08km (13.1 mile) stretch running from Brough (Cumbria) to Bowes (County Durham), following the path of the old Barnard Castle to Tebay line. Now, heads up: this Pennines crossing can be seriously tricky. Think snow and gale-force winds! Its high elevation and exposed location make it a real test, often leading to closures for high-sided vehicles. Expect regular disruptions due to incidents and weather – high winds, flooding, and snowfall are common culprits. Winter can be especially wild, with vehicles getting stuck in the snow and trucks occasionally tipping over. But hey, the views are epic!
