A winding road is a common type of mountain road. Its main feature is that it is built on hillsides, with steep and steep slopes and undulations.

The winding road reduces the slope of the road and enables vehicles to climb the slope by circling the mountain. In the age of underdeveloped bridge and tunnel technology, winding the mountain road is a helpless choice to climb the mountain. With the development of human economy and technology, more and more highways cross valleys and ridges by building bridges and digging tunnels.

There are winding mountain roads in many parts of the world, and the mountain roads are curved. If you are driving on this road, you need to be very careful. Below are several winding mountain roads that are extremely beautiful but also extremely dangerous in the world. Let's take a look!

Switzerland, Gotthard Road

The road is built on the Gotthard Pass in southern Switzerland and has a total length of 26 kilometers. It was an important trade route in the 13th century. Mail cars and trains have brought prosperity to this pass, and after the new road tunnel was built, fewer and fewer people chose the Gotthard Road. Gotthard Road is narrow, with many sharp bends, and the dense fog that occasionally appears in the mountains makes countless drivers tremble.

Italy, Stelvio mountain road

Via Stelvio is located in northern Italy, near the Swiss border. Even in the entire Alps, this road ranks second in height, reaching about 2,758 meters at its highest point. In 2009, it was listed as one of the best roads by the UK's Crazy Car Show, and since then more professional drivers have begun to challenge it.

Chile, Ros Scalagoles Road

Ros Scalagoles road in the Andes, connecting Chile and Argentina. There are also steep slopes and hairpin bends everywhere, without any safety barriers. And this road is covered with snow and ice for most of the year, which makes driving a lot more difficult.

France, Alpine Highway

Located in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the south of France, the scenery along the way is spectacular and is an experience you will never forget. In some of these sections, the road cuts through carved rock, with cascading waterfalls on one side and sheer cliffs on the other. During the 50 km drive, you have to pay full attention at all times.

Brazil SC-390 Highway

The road is only 16 miles long, but it attracts road travelers from all over the world. This road allows for driving through jungle-covered peaks. It winds its way up the cliffs and leads deep into the rainforest. Eventually you will reach a plateau, which is a popular ecotourism spot.
