Okay, picture this: Colle Malaberghe, a seriously high mountain pass way up in the Alpes-Maritimes department, France. You'll find it in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, practically breathing down Italy's neck.
This isn't some modern highway. We're talking about a route with serious history, used for centuries to move goods and, you know, defend stuff. It started as a medieval path hauling goods from the coast, and later got beefed up for military use.
Heads up: the road *to* the pass is all unpaved. We're talking rough, narrow, exposed sections. Leave your fancy sports car at home. You'll need something tough and a super careful driver. The higher you go, the bumpier it gets.
And listen, this road closes from November to April. Snow, avalanches, ice… it's a no-go. The weather can flip on you in a heartbeat.
But if you're up for it, the views? Epic! You're cruising along the crests where France shakes hands with Italy, with views stretching from the Alps to the Mediterranean. Totally untamed and unforgettable!

🇳🇴 Norway
RV76 is an absolutely stunning drive through Nordland county in Norway that'll leave you speechless. The road itself is beautifully maintained asphalt, so you won't have to worry about rough conditions. There's a particularly gorgeous stretch that hugs the Tosen Fjord with some seriously jaw-dropping views that make you want to pull over constantly for photos. If you're into hiking, fishing, or pretty much any outdoor adventure, this route is basically paradise. The full route spans 87.2 km between FV17 near Skomo and E6 near Strendene. You'll pass through the 5.8 km Tosentunnelen (which opened back in 1987), but the tunnel is just a quick transition between equally incredible scenery on either side. This is the kind of road trip that makes you understand why people fall in love with Scandinavia.

🇪🇸 Spain
# Puerto de Cotefablo Tucked in the stunning northeastern corner of Spain's Huesca province, Puerto de Cotefablo sits pretty at 1,423 meters elevation, offering some serious Pyrenean mountain vibes right near the French border. Here's the good news: the N-260 highway leading up to the summit is in fantastic condition and fully paved. The not-so-easy news? It's genuinely steep, with some sections hitting 9.2% grades that'll definitely test your legs (or your car's engine). This pass has earned serious cycling credentials too—it's been featured in Spain's prestigious Vuelta race. You've got two solid options to tackle this beast. Coming from **Broto**, you're looking at a 13-kilometer push uphill, gaining 518 meters of elevation with an average grade of 4%. If you're starting from **Biescas** instead, it's a slightly longer 14-kilometer haul with 548 meters of elevation gain at a more forgiving 3.9% average. Either way, you're in for a rewarding climb through gorgeous mountain terrain that'll make the effort totally worth it.
hardDriving the 5 stars road to Arlberg Pass in Austria
🇦🇹 Austria
# Arlberg Pass: Austria's Alpine Classic Want to experience one of Austria's most iconic mountain passes? Head to Arlberg Pass, perched at 1,804 meters (5,918 feet) right where Vorarlberg and Tyrol meet in the western part of the country. This scenic route has serious history—the original road was built way back in 1787 (it was called the "Josephinische Straße" back then), got paved in 1824, and now you can zip under the whole thing via the Arlberg Road Tunnel if you're in a rush. But trust us, you won't want to skip the actual pass. The 13.2-kilometer (8.2-mile) stretch from Stuben am Arlberg to St. Anton am Arlberg is an absolute blast to drive. Federal Highway B 197 is completely paved and in excellent condition—wide enough to feel safe, with some thrilling hairpin turns especially on the western approach. Fair warning though: some sections hit a steep 13% gradient, so take it at your own pace. The western side is where things get really fun with those signature switchbacks. What makes this pass special is that it's nestled in the northern Rhaetian Alps and stays open pretty much year-round. Plus, you get a handy café-bar and spacious parking lot right at the summit if you need a breather and want to soak in the views. Whether you're a road trip enthusiast or just love a good mountain drive, Arlberg Pass delivers the goods.
hardCol de la Chambre: this road is not for timid drivers
🇫🇷 France
# Col de la Chambre Tucked away in the Savoie department of southeastern France, Col de la Chambre sits at a seriously impressive 2,787m (9,143ft) above sea level. This is one of those Alpine passes that'll make your jaw drop. Here's the thing—this isn't your typical mountain road. Starting from Val Thorens, the roughly 4km (2.5-mile) route is completely unpaved and basically follows old chairlift service roads meant for serious 4x4 vehicles only. You'll encounter some gnarly sections with grades hitting 25%, so this is definitely not a leisurely summer cruise. The pass is only accessible during the warmer months, so plan accordingly. What makes it even more thrilling? Head southeast and you'll find Mont de Péclet (2,879m/9,445ft), another Alpine giant looming nearby. The road to get there winds along more unpaved ski-lift service tracks, climbing toward the cable car station. It's genuinely one of France's highest accessible roads—the kind of place where the views are absolutely unreal and your vehicle gets put to the test. This is pure Alpine adventure territory. High elevation, extreme terrain, and some serious driving chops required.
