Here's a list of the best road to drive on around the world!
12 - Stelvio Pass, Italy
Its popularity as one of the highest roads to pass through the European Alps has certainly impressed many people. After a very popular 2008 Top Gear article that named the Stelvio Pass the best driving road in the world, the road has pretty much become a star. Unfortunately, given its increasing popularity, the road has become congested, with hundreds of tourists and cars going through it all day long.
Experts recommend driving in a north to west direction, which allows you to see its famous wall of switchbacks, and getting a first hand look at Stelvio National Park, with its beautiful alpine forests, and fun driving roads. At the foot of the pass, a valley lets you get some great pictures, and a little up north you’ll find the connecting Swiss Pass.
11 - Pacific Coast Highway, California
Considered one of the most scenic rides any driver can have, the Pacific Coast Highway, is a 123 mile long California Road that extends from the very popular Big Sur Coast Highway up to San Luis Obispo North Coast Byway. With a combination of mountains and great ocean views, this particular road starts at the popular little town of Monterey and allows any driver to experience some very scenic landscapes that include Hearst Castle and California's multiple oak forests.
Because of its steep curves and high inclinations, it's no wonder the road is extremely popular by motorcyclists, so anyone that’s into riding, should really think about the option. Because the highway is designated as an All-American Road, In addition to serving as a route to the greater Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas, certainly makes this a road a very popular scenic road!
10 - Combe Laval, France
Constructed between 1861 and 1898, this widely popular route has been recognized as the most beautiful road in the French Alps. Considering its challenging climbs, nowadays it’s better known as a path for cyclists looking to experience an extreme adventure. Parts of the road are filled with narrow tunnels and cut straight into a cliff, which sounds like it certainly provides some amazing views!
The architectural concept used to created the road is very rare: they carved the whole path straight into the walls of the Vercors mountain, connecting it with a road to the Royan mountains. The way they managed to cut two mountains and create a whole new access through still impresses many people to this day, including myself!
9 - Conor Pass, Ireland
The Irish mountains are known for its never-ending green scenery, cloudy but beautiful ambience, and legends of leprechauns with 4-leaved clovers. Well, maybe they’ve figured out leprechauns with 4 leaf clovers.
But, with this road, there’s still the proverbial pot of gold. Conor Pass is known as the highest mountain road in all of Ireland, and has managed a reputation as one of the only ways to experience the Celtic nation's true essence. Reaching 1,495 feet in height, the pass connects the southernmost part of south western Ireland, in Dingle, all the way up to Castlegregory in the north east.
As with many other roads, weather conditions are super important to take into consideration before doing any spirited driving. During rain, visibility can be minimal, which of course heightens risk for accidents. There’s also the story of a man who lost his life at the highest part of the pass, and is said to haunt visitors who don’t comply to the safety measures. Hmmm maybe he’s a leprechaun too!
8 - Milford Road, New Zealand
This hidden gem in the region of Fiordland New Zealand seems to certify the country's popularity. Extending through Fiordland National Park and even a World Heritage Area such as Te Wahipounamu, Milford Road is a tourist destination that provides some of the best views of raw, untouched nature. The 4-hour drive has great photo opportunities of landmarks such as Eagleton Valley and the pristine Mirror Lakes.
