1616 Passo di Brococn The Passo di Broccon at 1,616m connects the Valsugana with the Primiero valley in Trentino, crossing a wooded ridge of the Lagorai chain. A quiet, pleasant road through typical Trentino alpine forest scenery.

2678 Col de Restefond The Col de Restefond at 2,678m is an extremely high and remote pass in the Mercantour region near the Italian border, reached by a long, desolate road through the Ubaye valley. The climb passes through bare, stony high-alpine terrain with sweeping views and virtually no traffic.

2744 Col Agnel The Col Agnel (Colle dell’Agnello) at 2,744m is the third highest paved pass in the Alps, straddling the French-Italian border between the Queyras valley and the Valle Varaita. The summit plateau offers panoramic views of the Cottian Alps, and the remote, barren landscape has an end-of-the-world quality.

1156 Passo Predil The Passo Predil at 1,156m is a scenic border crossing between Italy and Slovenia in the Julian Alps, set between the dramatic cliffs of the Raibler See (Lago del Predil). The turquoise lake and surrounding peaks make this one of the most beautiful low-altitude passes in the eastern Alps.

1363 Passo Mendel The Passo Mendola (Mendelpass) at 1,363m is a historic pass above Lake Caldaro in South Tyrol, connected by an old funicular railway (still operating). The pass marks the transition between the Italian-speaking Trentino and the German-speaking South Tyrol, with views over the Adige valley and wine country below.

1417 Passo Vézzena The Passo Vézzena at 1,417m on the Asiago Plateau in the Veneto connects the Sugana valley with the plateau of Asiago. The area was heavily contested in WWI and the plateau is dotted with memorials and military cemeteries. Open, rolling plateau scenery is pleasant for easy riding.

1453 Passo di Campogrosso The Passo di Campogrosso at 1,453m in the Piccole Dolomiti (Lesser Dolomites) near Recoaro Terme connects Veneto with Trentino through a dramatic landscape of pale limestone cliffs and forested slopes. A rewarding, quiet road through an undervisited section of the Dolomite region.

1530 Passo Cibiana The Passo Cibiana at 1,530m in the Cadore region of the eastern Dolomites is famed for the painted murals covering the houses of Cibiana di Cadore village below. The pass provides a scenic connection between the Cadore and the Boite valley.

1752 Passo Costalunga The Passo Costalunga (Karer Pass) at 1,752m connects Bolzano’s Val d’Ega with the Val di Fassa, passing the gorgeous Carezza lake (Lago di Carezza) — a turquoise alpine lake with a perfect reflection of the Latemar massif. One of the most photographed lakes in the Alps.

2993 Col de Sommeiller The Col de Sommeiller at 2,993m is one of the highest driveable roads in the Alps, located in the Italian Piedmont near the French border. The rough, unpaved upper section is passable only by 4WD and adventurous motorcyclists, opening briefly for a few weeks in midsummer.
