More Og Romsdal · Norway
Atlantic Ocean Road
Eight bridges hopping between skerries in the open Norwegian Sea. Storseisundet bridge looks like a ski jump from the right angle.
Baden Wurttemberg · Germany
Black Forest High Road (B500)
Germany's classic Schwarzwaldhochstrasse: sweepers above the Rhine valley with cake stops at every Schwarzwald village.
Norte · Portugal
Estrada Nacional 2
Portugal's Route 66, an end-to-end run from Chaves to Faro. The northern half is the keeper: terraced vineyards and empty N-roads.
Valais · Switzerland
Furka Pass
Goldfinger hairpins above Gletsch and a view down the Rhone Glacier. The adjacent Grimsel pass makes a perfect double-header.
Carinthia · Austria
Grossglockner High Alpine Road
36 switchbacks to 8,215 ft under the Pasterze glacier. Toll road, immaculate surface, and cold air off the Hohe Tauern glaciers.
Bolzano · South Tyrol · Italy
Passo dello Stelvio
48 numbered switchbacks up the eastern Alps from Prato. Cold at the summit even in August — gear up before you leave Bormio.
Provence Alpes Cote D Azur · France
Route des Grandes Alpes
Lake Geneva to the Riviera over six high passes including the Iseran at 9,090 ft. Long days, but every descent is a reward.
England · United Kingdom
Snake Pass and Peak District
Sheep-dotted moorland crests between Glossop and Ladybower. One of the UK's best riding roads, slippery when damp.
Brasov · Romania
Transfagarasan
Seven kilometers of tunnels and a 90 degree hairpin beside Balea Glacier lake at 6,700 ft. Closed by snow most of the year.
More Og Romsdal · Norway
Trollstigen
Eleven switchbacks at 9 percent up a granite wall, past the Stigfossen waterfall. New viewing platforms at the summit.
