Stelvio Pass is a famous high mountain road with 48 tight hairpin turns. It sits at 2,757 meters above sea level. The views are amazing, but the curves are sharp and steep. In bad weather, it becomes slippery and dangerous for drivers.
Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway
This coastal road hops across islands on eight bridges. Storms bring huge waves that can crash onto the road. The wind is strong, and the road is narrow—so driving here needs focus and courage.
Col de Turini, France
Found in the Alps, Col de Turini has twisty roads used in famous car rallies. The steep asphalt road weaves through beautiful mountain scenery. But it’s also known for icy patches and sudden weather changes.
Great St. Bernard Pass, Switzerland–Italy
This ancient Alpine route crosses high mountains at 2,473 meters. It has tunnel sections, avalanches, and snow drifts. Winter travel is often stopped, but summer still brings sharp curves and rock slides.
Transalpina, Romania
Another high road in the Carpathians, Transalpina reaches 2,145 meters. It is less famous than Transfăgărășan, but it’s steeper. The asphalt is in rough condition, lacking guardrails in places. Mist and rain make the drive tense.
Trollstigen, Norway
Trollstigen means “Troll’s Ladder.” It has 11 sharp hairpins in steep cliffs. Narrow lanes and no guardrails in some spots make it dangerous. But the view of waterfalls and valleys is breathtaking.
Transfagarasan, Romania
Called “Romania’s Highway in the Sky,” this road crosses the Carpathian Mountains. It climbs to over 2,000 meters and includes steep slopes and tight tunnels. Winter snow and frequent fog make travel risky and exciting.
