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!

moderateDriving the dizzying paved road to Col du Portillon on the Spanish-French border
🇫🇷 France
# Col du Portillon-Coll de Portilló Ready for a wild ride through the Pyrenees? Col du Portillon-Coll de Portilló sits at 1,293 meters (4,242 feet) and straddles the Spain-France border, connecting the Spanish town of Bossòst in Lleida province with the French alpine village of Bagnères-de-Luchon. It's a seriously scenic 17-kilometer (10.56-mile) east-west route that'll test both your driving skills and your nerve. The fully paved road comes in two flavors: France calls it D618A, while Spain knows it as N-141. Here's the thing though—this pass is *not* for the faint of heart. We're talking 20 hairpin turns that wind their way up the mountain like a corkscrew. If you're prone to motion sickness, maybe grab some ginger candy before you go. The good news? This road is open year-round, making it a solid option for most of the year. Winter can throw some curveballs your way with occasional closures, so check conditions first if you're planning a cold-season adventure. Oh, and if you're into cycling, you've probably heard of this place—the Tour de France has tackled these switchbacks more than once, which tells you everything you need to know about the challenge ahead.
hardPas de Cherferie
🇫🇷 France
Okay, adventure-seekers, listen up! Pas de Cherferie in the French Alps is calling your name! This insane gravel track in Savoie tops out at a cool 2,142 meters (that's over 7,000 feet!). Word to the wise: you NEED a 4x4 for this one, and forget about it in the winter – it's totally impassable. Expect some seriously narrow and steep bits as you climb. The views? Absolutely worth the white knuckles, but be prepared for a wild ride!
moderateDriving a Serbian balcony road through Jerma River Canyon
🌍 Serbia
Okay, picture this: southeastern Serbia, right near the Bulgarian border. You're cruising down Road 223, a twisty little ribbon of asphalt that carves its way through the absolutely stunning Jerma River Canyon (also known as Vlaška Gorge). This isn't your average Sunday drive, though. This canyon was totally impassable until a narrow-gauge railway was built to service a coal mine back in the day. Now, instead of trains, you get to hug the cliffside on a paved, but seriously narrow, road. We're talking one-car-width narrow in spots. The whole experience stretches for about 48.4 km (30 miles), from Sukovo to Babušnica. As you enter near the village of Vlasi, prepare to be dwarfed – the cliffs soar over 200 meters above you! Keep an eye out for falling rocks (seriously!) and be aware that early snow can shut this route down. The Jerma River itself can be a beast, flooding the road during heavy rains, like it did in 2021. Oh, and there are a few tunnels thrown in for good measure. Think of it as a Serbian balcony road – the Jerma River Canyon is often called one of the most beautiful in the country. The river is a constant companion, sometimes a clear, shallow stream, and other times a raging torrent crashing over rocks. Just be aware that the water level can change dramatically depending on the weather. Trust me, the views alone are worth the white-knuckle drive!
hardWhere is Estany Llong?
🇪🇸 Spain
Okay, picture this: You're in northern Spain, smack-dab in the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, one of Spain's fourteen national parks. Your destination? The stunning Estany Llong, a glacial lake sitting pretty high up in the mountains. There's even a mountain refuge there if you fancy staying a while! Now, getting there is an adventure in itself. The road? Think winding, narrow, and at times, seriously steep. The first bit is paved, even with some concrete sections thrown in for good measure. But hold on tight, because the final stretch turns into a totally unpaved track – definitely a job for a 4x4! The whole shebang is just shy of long, but don't let the distance fool you. You'll be climbing over that distance, with an average gradient of . Along the way, you'll pass the gorgeous Estany de Llebreta (Llebreta Lake). Trust me, the views are worth every bump and turn! Just be aware that the road is closed at certain times of the year.
