Year-round
Okay, adventure junkies, buckle up (or, you know, clip in, since cars are a no-go!) because we're heading to Collado El Lobo in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Andalusia, Spain. This isn't your average Sunday drive – it's an *experience*. We're talking about some seriously high elevation, some of the highest roads *anywhere* in Europe and *definitely* the highest in Spain.
The "road" (more like the Camino de los Franceses) stretches for about 23 kilometers (almost 15 miles) of pure, unadulterated mountain climbing goodness, leading to a tiny, charming town. Get ready for incredible views of alpine lakes that will blow your mind!
Now, for the reality check: this road is NO JOKE. We’re talking totally impassable during winter. Avalanches, insane snowfall, and landslides? Yep, they're all part of the charm… or the challenge! This is why only bicycles are permitted here, to safeguard the pristine wilderness of the national park. So ditch the four wheels, grab your bike, and get ready for an unforgettable ride on this ghost highway!

moderateIf you love to drive, you'll love the road to Col de la Croix in Vaud
🇨🇭 Switzerland
Col de la Croix is a stunning high mountain pass sitting pretty at 1,778m (5,833ft) in Switzerland's canton of Vaud. Head north of Martigny and you'll find yourself in the western part of the country, where this gem awaits. The pass itself is pretty chilled out – just a hilltop crowned with a dirt parking lot, a cute little wooden gift shop, and a snack bar where you can grab some refreshments and soak in the views. The 26.9km (16.71 miles) route called Route du Col de la Croix is beautifully paved and in solid condition, connecting Bex and Villars-sur-Ollon to Les Diablerets. This pass has some serious cycling credentials too – it's been featured in both the Tour de Romandie and Tour de Suisse. Coming up from Ollon? You're looking at an 18.5km climb with 1,262 meters of elevation gain – that's a steady 6.8% average gradient. From the Les Diablerets side, it's a shorter but punchier 8.4km push with 613 meters of gain and a 7.3% average slope. Set high in the heart of the Alps, this mountain pass closes to vehicle traffic during winter, so plan your visit for the warmer months when the roads are clear and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
hardDriving the challenging steep road to Passo Muazz in Ticino
🇨🇭 Switzerland
# Passo Muazz Ready for a Swiss mountain adventure? Passo Muazz sits at 1,700m (5,567ft) in Ticino's Blenio district, right near the Grisons border in the southern part of the region. Starting from the charming town of Ghirone at 1,252m, this 6.1 km (3.79 miles) route is definitely not for the faint of heart. You'll tackle 13 wickedly sharp hairpin turns while climbing 448 meters—that's an average gradient of 7.34%. The road's mostly paved, though you'll hit some gravel sections toward the end. The real magic? You'll pass Lago di Luzzone, a stunning high mountain lake at 1,606m that's home to the world's highest artificial climbing wall on its dam. Then things get serious: the road gets narrow, twists get tighter, and you'll enter the famously claustrophobic Carassina (or Luzzone) Tunnel. Built way back in 1963, it's probably the narrowest tunnel you'll ever drive through on a public road—pretty wild! After emerging from the tunnel, a final 500m of gravel road with a gentle climb gets you to Passo Muazz itself. Park up and soak in the views, or continue on to Lago di Carassino and the Capanna Adula mountain refuge if you're feeling the adventure vibes.
extremeRoad F903 (Hvannalindavegur)
🇮🇸 Iceland
Get ready for an Icelandic adventure on the F903, also known as Hvannalindavegur! This isn't your average Sunday drive – it's a rugged trek through the Eastern Region, smack-dab in the Vatnajokull National Park. Think stunning, raw landscapes as you follow (and cross!) a small river – twice! Heads up: this road is strictly for serious 4x4s with real fording chops. We're talking full-size, high-clearance vehicles only. Seriously, don't even think about attempting this in a dinky rental car; it's just plain irresponsible. You'll be bouncing over potholes and sandy stretches on this rough and remote track, which connects the F910 and F902 roads on its way through Hvannalindir toward the Vatnajökull glacier. Open only during the summer (late June to early September, give or take), expect everything from steep, rocky slopes to broken terrain, massive rocks, and boggy muskeg. And solitude! This road is seriously off the beaten path. No cell service in many spots, so be prepared. Known locally as the Kverkfjöll road, going solo isn't recommended. The Lindá river crossings are the stuff of legends. River crossings demand respect (and experience!). Never attempt it alone or during heavy rain. Water levels can rise fast, making it super treacherous. Always scout the river depth first! Remember, rental car insurance usually doesn't cover water damage from river crossings. But if you're prepared, this road promises epic views and a true taste of Iceland's wild heart. Just be aware it can be dangerous during the dark night.
extremeDriving the Curvy TF-12 Road in the Canary Islands
🇪🇸 Spain
# The TF-12: Tenerife's Ultimate Twisty Mountain Ride Ready for one of Spain's most thrilling cycling and driving routes? The TF-12 on Tenerife's island is calling your name. This scenic highway winds through the stunning Anaga mountain range in the island's northeast, and honestly, it's an absolute gem. Stretching 28.8 km (17.89 miles) from sea level in San Andrés up to the village of Las Mercedes, this road is a gradually intensifying adventure. Starting easy at the coast, the climb gets progressively steeper as you venture higher—topping out at 871 meters. Fair warning though: with over 100 hairpin turns packed into this route, it's not for everyone. Those prone to motion sickness? You might want to skip this one. Here's the thing—some sections are pretty tight. We're talking barely wide enough for two cars to squeeze past each other. Add in blind corners, dramatic cliff-side drops, and the occasional rockfall or landslide, and you'll understand why reversing skills are basically mandatory here. The asphalt itself is in great condition, and traffic stays refreshingly light, but you'll definitely need to stay sharp. The real magic? You're driving through the Rural de Anaga Park's lush, shaded woodland, carving through dramatic cliff faces with views that'll make your jaw drop. On clear days, you might even spot Gran Canaria peeking at you from the horizon. Just remember to keep your eyes on those curves—as tempting as those vistas are, the road demands your full attention. This is pure road-trip magic right here.
