Destinations told one at a time, each with the trip that goes with it — ready to make your own.
Mountains and passes
Four passes in a loop around the Sella massif: some fifty kilometres of hairpins, three provinces and four valleys that speak Ladin. And one rule: leave early, before the coaches take the road.
Coast and islands
Between a coast of cliffs and limestone peaks rising twenty kilometres from the sea lies green Spain: painted caves, stone villages, high lakes and cider poured from a height. A week from Santander to Oviedo.
Mountains and passes
The castles of Ludwig II, about ten lakes and the highest peak in Germany. A nine-day loop from Munich, from Neuschwanstein to the Königssee, with two short stretches through Tyrol.
Wide open spaces
The Grossglockner Road crosses the Hohe Tauern at the foot of Austria’s highest mountain. Five days on a loop from Salzburg, with gorges, an ice cave and the Krimml Falls.
Mountains and passes
The road over Slovenia’s highest pass crosses the Julian Alps, then follows an emerald-green river towards the Adriatic. Four days from Kranjska Gora to Nova Gorica, from the Vršič Pass to the vineyards of Goriška Brda.
Wide open spaces
The highest range in the Carpathians rises above Poprad, with its glacial lakes, its cable cars and its wooden villages. This trip follows its foot for four days, as far as the rafts of the Dunajec.
Wide open spaces
A narrow fjord between granite cliffs, two hikes to rocks on the edge of a sheer drop, and a road with 27 hairpin bends. Five days on a loop from Stavanger, to the head of the fjord and then to the beaches of Jæren.
Wide open spaces
Six days on the road across Valais, from the Grimsel and Furka passes to the abbey of Saint-Maurice. On the way, the Aletsch Glacier, Zermatt and the Matterhorn, and valleys where the road zigzags up to the dams.
Mountains and passes
Ridge roads, lakes, farmhouses under huge roofs and cuckoo clocks, then the vineyards of an extinct volcano. A week on a loop from Freiburg im Breisgau, from the north of the range to the south.
Wide open spaces
Three national parks on one road, from the Tetons to the glaciers of Montana, by way of the geysers of Yellowstone. Twelve days from Jackson to Kalispell, with bison by the roadside and two great mountain roads.
Mountains and passes
High mountain roads that climb up to the glaciers, mountain lakes and a Habsburg city at the foot of the peaks. Eight days on a loop from Innsbruck, by way of the Achensee, the Zillertal, the Kaunertal and the Ötztal.
Wide open spaces
In the north of Albania, two mountain villages, Theth and Valbona, at the foot of great limestone walls. A six-day loop from Shkodër, over a pass, on a ferry across Lake Koman and through Kosovo.
