Stop reading now if you can’t handle heights well. We’ve looked high and low all over Europe (mostly high) for the most terrifying – or fantastic, depending on your preference for deep abysses – and dangerous mountain roads. Now it’s time for you to watch some of Europe’s most challenging drives.
Do you wanna feel the wind in your hair going down a mountainside at a high velocity? There’s a safe way of doing that. Summer toboggan is a ride that uses a bobsled-like cart to run down a track, usually built on the side of a hill. The world’s longest track can be found in Andorra, Europe, with 5,300 meters. Summer toboggan has many names and forms and is often called mountain coasters, alpine slides or coasters, and Sommerrodelbahn in German. The first summer toboggan rides were built in the 1970s.
If you are prone to vertigo, this is not for you. We’ve gathered the most horrifying and insane mountainous dirt roads Europe can muster – some of them dubbed “death roads”. These roads are for hiking by foot or very experienced drivers with extreme caution.
