Year-round
Pointe du Dzonfié is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.185m (7,168ft) above the sea level, located in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
The road to the summit is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. The road is impassable in winters. Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. Wet conditions may make for tough driving along the muddy road. Near the summit is a mountain hut known as Refuge du Nant du Beurre.

extremeTannensee
🇨🇭 Switzerland
# Tannensee Alpine Adventure Tannensee is this absolutely stunning high mountain lake tucked away in Obwalden, Switzerland, sitting pretty at 1,976m (6,482ft) above sea level. It's the kind of place that makes your heart skip a beat. Now, getting up there? That's where things get interesting. The road is paved—so far so good—but it's narrow and twisty with some seriously steep sections that can hit 15% grades. This isn't your typical Sunday cruise. Snow and ice can show up out of nowhere, even when you'd expect summer weather, so you'll definitely want to keep your wits about you as you climb. Because of that crazy high altitude, winter snowfall is basically guaranteed, and the road can shut down faster than you can say "avalanche" whenever conditions get gnarly. If you're planning a visit, definitely check ahead before you head out—getting turned away at the gate after a long drive isn't fun. But honestly? If you love mountain driving and can handle the challenges, this road delivers views and an adrenaline rush you won't forget. Just respect the mountain and drive smart.
hardDriving the Scenic F337 Road Through Lunar-like Fields
🇮🇸 Iceland
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! If you're headed to Iceland's Southern Region and craving an off-the-beaten-path experience, you HAVE to check out the F337, also known as Hlöðuvallavegur. This isn't your average Sunday drive, folks! Nestled in the Icelandic interior, near the stunning Þingvellir National Park, this 28.9 km (17.95-mile) beauty runs from Road 37 up to Road F338. Think lunar landscapes, a rough lava field at the foot of Mt Hlodufell, and some seriously epic views. Word to the wise: This is strictly 4x4 territory. We're talking high clearance is a MUST. The road is entirely unpaved, and you'll be navigating some seriously rugged terrain, with big stones and sandy spots aplenty. Seriously, leave your little rental car at home. Get ready for a climb! This road is STEEP. We're talking 500 vertical meters in just 4 km, with an average grade of 15%! It tops out at a whopping 681m (2,234ft) above sea level, making it one of Iceland's highest roads. Heads up: it's usually closed from late October to late June/early July due to snow. And be prepared to be totally alone out there. This track is remote, traffic is minimal, and cell service can be spotty. Make sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape before you go! But trust us, the views are SO worth it!
moderateRoute 70
🌍 Denmark
Okay, picture this: You're cruising along Route 70 in the Faroe Islands, and BAM! Instant postcard-worthy views. This road is a stunner, hugging the dramatic coastline for almost 16 kilometers. You'll start near Klaksvík, a busy fishing town on Borðoy island, and wind your way to Viðareiði, hands down one of the prettiest villages you'll ever see. Seriously, it's the northernmost spot on the islands, perched on Viðoy. Now, heads up! You'll be navigating a couple of those classic Faroese one-lane tunnels—the Hvannasundstunnilin (2.1 km) and the Árnafjarðartunnilin (1.7 km). Keep your eyes peeled and be ready to yield—it's all part of the adventure!
hardWhere is Monte Paularo?
🇮🇹 Italy
Okay, so you're up for an adventure in the Italian Alps? Let's talk about Monte Paularo, a peak in the Udine province near the border. This one's got it all: stunning scenery, glacial lakes chilling near the summit, and a road that'll test your driving skills! The climb starts north of Tolmezzo in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region and clocks in at around 12 km. But hold on, this isn't your average Sunday drive. The entire route is unpaved, winding its way up with an average gradient of 8.7%. The road, also known as Strada Provinciale 24 (SP24), gets pretty narrow in places. You'll definitely need your wits about you if you meet another car, especially since some turns require three-point maneuvers. And let's just say you do NOT want to lose your concentration on some of those narrow stretches. Basically, if you're new to off-roading or mountain driving, maybe skip this one until you've got some experience under your belt. But if you're looking for a challenge with unbelievable views, Monte Paularo is calling your name!
