Year-round
Col Nord des Lacs is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.533m (8,310ft) above the sea level, located in the Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
The surface of the road to the summit is rocky with lots of slippery gravel. It’s pretty steep and deserted. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. At the summit there are spectacular views and two lakes: Lac Bramant and Lac Blanc. In the far distance you can see the Glacier de St. Sorlin.

hardPiste de Clausis, pure adventure
🇫🇷 France
# Piste de Clausis: A Alpine Gravel Adventure Tucked away in the Queyras Regional Natural Park in the Hautes-Alpes of southeastern France, the Piste de Clausis is a seriously scenic 6.2km gravel road that'll get your heart pumping. This winding, steep climb (expect sections pushing 10%) takes you up to the Chapelle de Clausis, perched at a jaw-dropping 2,388 meters (7,834 feet) above sea level. The road itself is surprisingly well-maintained, which means a regular high-clearance 2WD vehicle can handle it just fine—as long as you take it slow and steady. You won't have to worry too much about washboarding, ruts, or unexpected dips throwing you off course on those long, dry stretches. Just keep in mind this road plays by winter's rules; it can close whenever the snow decides to move back in. You've got two solid options for getting up here. Coming from Château Queiras is the longer haul at 19km with 1,000 meters of elevation gain (averaging 5.3%), while the Molines en Queyras route is more bite-sized at 11.5km with 644 meters of climbing (5.6% average). Either way, you're in for stunning alpine views and a drive you won't forget.
moderateDriving the Scenic Fylkesvei 50 (Fv50) Road in Southern Norway
🇳🇴 Norway
# Fylkesvei 50 (Fv50): Norway's Alpine Beauty Ready for one of Norway's most breathtaking drives? Fylkesvei 50 in Vestland County is calling your name—seriously, pack your camera because you'll be stopping constantly. This 94 km (58.40 miles) ribbon of asphalt stretches from Aurlandsvangen (sitting pretty on the east side of Aurlandsfjorden) all the way east to the tiny village of Hagafoss in Buskerud. What started as a summer-only route back in 1974 is now a year-round adventure, though fair warning: you'll encounter some genuinely steep and narrow sections with grades reaching up to 10%. Don't let that intimidate you though. The road is fully paved, and the engineering is solid—you'll cruise through 12 tunnels, including the epic 4.2 km Berdal Tunnelen. These aren't just practical passages; they're part of the experience. The real magic? You're driving through Hallingskarvet National Park with jaw-dropping views of Strandavatnet lake unfolding around every corner. And here's the bonus: this route is basically the front door to the spectacular Aurlandsdalen valley, a glacially-carved wonderland that'll make your jaw drop. Whether you're a serious road-tripper or just someone who appreciates stunning scenery, Fylkesvei 50 delivers.
hardWhere is Mount Kaliakouda?
🇬🇷 Greece
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! Mount Kaliakouda in Greece's Evrytania region is calling your name. This mountain pass punches way up to 1,741m (5,711ft) in the southern Pindus Mountains, making it one of the highest roads in the country. Now, let's be real: this isn't your Sunday drive. The 15 km (9.32 miles) stretch from Aniada to Stournara is entirely unpaved and seriously twisty. Think 70+ hairpin turns! The track can be rocky with flowing water creating tricky spots, plus the occasional hole and fallen rocks. Landslides happen, so keep your eyes peeled. Plan on 1 to 1.5 hours to conquer this beast. The road's impact on the landscape is noticeable, but the views? Totally worth it. Plus, you'll find a mountain shelter at the top. Just a heads up, though, this road is usually open, but snow can shut things down, sometimes even lasting into August. This area has some serious history too as it served as a resistance base in WWII. Adventure awaits!
moderateThe challenging old road to Grimsel Pass
🇨🇭 Switzerland
# Grimsel Pass Old Road Want to experience a slice of Swiss alpine history? The charming Grimsel Pass Old Road winds through the stunning Bernese Alps in Switzerland's canton of Bern. This authentic cobblestone route was originally built back in the 1900s as part of the region's first road to the famous Grimsel Pass. The short but scenic 1.2km (0.74 mile) stretch hugs the dramatic Haaggen gorge, mixing stretches of smooth pavement with rustic cobblestone sections that'll have you feeling like you've stepped back in time. Starting from a convenient parking lot, it's a bite-sized adventure that packs serious mountain character—until a modern tunnel eventually took over as the main route. Fair warning though: this atmospheric road gets serious about winter. Deep snow makes it completely impassable from October straight through to late June, so you'll want to time your visit for the brief summer window. And when conditions do clear up, keep your wits about you—sheer drop-offs and the occasional falling rock are very real hazards up here at altitude. It's a beautiful stretch, but respect the mountains and drive carefully.
