Dangerous Roads

Atlas Mountains Road, Morocco


The Dades Gorge in Morocco is beautiful to look at, but not while you're driving this twisty-turvy road. You could end up being part of the Gorge.



Col de Turini, France


Who doesn't want to go to the south of France? About 20 miles on this pass is part of the Monte Carlo Rally with 34 death defying hairpins and long stretches where cars top our at over 100 miles per hour. It's considered one of the greatest driving roads of the world, but not for normal people who embrace safety first.


Grimsel Pass, Switzerland


Over one mile above sea level this sloping path takes you through the Swiss mountains between the valley of the Rhone River and the Haslital valley. Guard rails and night lights but you're on a slope, don't think it's in any way safe.


Guoliang Tunnel Road, China


Yes, that's a tunnel road inside a mountain 200 meter long about 5 meters high and 4 meters wide. A beautiful scenic route that's dubbed, "the road that does not tolerate any mistakes." Seriously!


Lena Highway, Russia


Known as the "Highway from Hell." This road runs parallel to the river Lena. During the winter it's a breeze to drive through but during the summer month with a deluge of rain, it's a mud pit.
