5 mountain passes from the top 10 highest mountain passes in Europe!

Cime de la Bonette 2802 meters (France)

This road is located at the top of the COL DE LA BONETTE, it is a 2-kilometer long road around the summit. It is not a pass and therefore not the highest mountain pass in Europe. But it is the highest drivable point we can achieve with a motorcycle in Europe :-).

Col de l’Iseran, 2770 meters (France)

The highest mountain pass in Europe! Since the mountain is quite remote, it is not well-known among tourists. Along the way, you have plenty of opportunities to spot chamois and marmots.

Col de la Bonette, 2715 meters (France)

It is a rugged environment with pristine nature where animals like wolves and lynxes still live in the wild.

Col du Galibier, 2645 meters (France)

A famous mountain especially among cyclists. In 2015, the Tour de France reached the summit. A small problem, there is a tunnel on the descent that is about to collapse, so...

Col du Grand Saint Bernard, 2469 meters (Switzerland/Italy)

Connection between the Swiss Valais and the Italian Valle d’Aosta. This is the place where the famous dog breed originated. In the 11th century, a monastery was established here, which still stands today, by Bernard of Menton. The monks helped travelers in distress with the assistance of St. Bernard dogs. This pass has been used as a trade route since Roman times.
