12Col de la Bonette, France

This is a dangerous mountain pass that is nestled 2000 meters in the French Alps, adjacent to the Italian border. The road is characterized by narrow, steep and unpredictable twists and turns that aren’t meant for faint hearted drivers. French Alps pathways are believed to extremely scenic, and this one doesn’t disappoint on any count.

  1. I’m so angry about this article, concretely about “last most dangerous road on the planet – 15. Caucasus Road, Russia”. it’s big mistake Russia road – it’s Georgia-Russia road. Ritsa lake is in Georgia(Georgia or Sakartvelo it is country in East Europe, maybe you also don’t know), Abkhazia which is occupied by Russia nowadays. It’s so shame, that the journalist doesn’t have general education and doesn’t know different countries history and reality.
    Shame on you.

  8. Your article is incomplete becuaee u haven’t discussed fairy meadows road in northern pakistan …. its a death track only for 4*4 vehicles and leads to heaven… search fairy medows baby … thats probably in top 5 most amazing places on earth.

  9. Transfagarasan can not be passed on winter!!! Do not forget this. It is very dangerous. That is why ok the biggest level on risk!

  11. I do not understand meters, and kilometers. Would you please use miles, etc. also to explain the height, and so forth? Thank you! ?

  14. The road to Hana was breathtaking. I don’t get motion sick but that road had so many curves and twist that but the time we made it out my stomach couldn’t take it anymore ? I would absolutely do the trip again though (with some meds to help)

  23. The article was corrected to read “partially” Russian road. The author was simply noting that this is yet another road that goes through Russia. Might I suggest that you first edit your own comments prior to personally insulting others? Thanks for your support, at any rate.

  26. How do you measure dangerous? A main road near us has has 8 deaths in a year? That is dangerous, Ive been on roads in the Karokorums and northern Pakistan – way more dangerous than those fun roads in the Alpes etc

  27. Hello!
    I was not the one to make the list. I simply wrote the article. I would have to say that if I was one of the people who decides I would have to first confirm your comment even prior to offering it for consideration. I would also have to establish the cause of those deaths as well. But, yes, any deaths close to home would seem dangerous to me too! Thanks for reading my stuff!

  28. Yes exactly, in Morocco people die in car accidents evry year. Her its a very dangerous road in the atlas mountains Morocco.

  30. Strongly disagree
    You never discuss the roads of northern areas of pakistan
    Like babusar top, fairy meadows road,
    Upper dir road, lake saif al malook road, shogran road, and so on
    Dear you never seen such kind of dangerous roads

  31. Hello!
    I am not certain what it is you strongly disagree with here. The fact is when it comes to lists, there are always limitations in both word count and article size. It could very well be the roads that you as an individual think are dangerous simply did not make the top 15 but may have made the top 20 or 25. Additionally, I do not get assigned to write sequels. If I ever do, they could show up in the future. At any rate, thanks for your comment and thanks for reading our stuff!

  32. I don’t think Luka should edit his comment at all, pointing out your initial error mr Phoenix, this cheap ploy at advertising revenue (15 page slideshows) should at least be backed up by proper research.

  33. Hello,
    Sorry but I must now also point out that you should also proofread prior to criticizing others. As far as anyone knows, this initial error was the result of the software not properly saving a correction. Additionally, I am unsure why you claim the mistake was made by any staff member let alone me.
    I see no proof that the slideshow is an advertising ploy let alone proof that it is “cheap.” You are welcome to your opinion, of course, but you know what they say about opinions. Not only was the correction made long ago but there is no proof the incident was the result of human error.
    Nevertheless, thanks for reading my stuff!

  35. Thanks.
    Not only is it not the end of the world, but the error was corrected a long time ago. We did not notice that the correction had not initially saved.

  36. Life is too short and hard enough to be “angry” about small stuff. You educated him, now let it go

  37. We appreciate the positive thought. We made an over-simplification and thought it would be understood. Additionally, the actual correction did not initially save for some reason. Thanks again for your support.

  38. They forgot roads in serbia and montenegro … and there is more to that then these roads … there are more dangerous riad on earth then this

  39. Hi!
    Not every dangerous road met the criteria at the time the list was created. I only wrote the article. I did not choose the winners.
    I guess we all have our opinions and now yours is in print, too.
    Thanks for the read!

  40. I agree! I was amazed at the steepness of the road in the picture. How is it possible to drive on a road that’s at what seems to be a straight up and down level? (Is that 180°?)

  43. My guess is they (the locals) get used to it. Plus, let’s be honest, photographers try to take the best 9scariest) pictures they can. It’s what they get paid to do, right? Not that I want to drive all these roads lol

  49. The last 15 numbers are an error! This is the way of Georgia. If you do not know exactly, you should not write, or you should find the exact information. Google is available to everyone. My country is occupied by Russia! And shame on you for making such a mistake! Fix it if you can. Ritsa Lake is located in Abkhazia which is ocupied by russia.! shame on you.

  50. Hello!
    We are well aware of the alleged error. Please note the location of Sochi. Undoubtedly, the original source was not correctly translated into English. If you have someone proofread your comment, you will no doubt understand.
    May we respectfully suggest that before casting too much shame on others, you first proofread your own missives? Our apologies that we have yet to correct the error. Thanks for your support!

  51. Hi!
    Please note where Sochi is located. Obviously, there was something lost in the translation of the original source. We are also aware that some people call it Tusheti Road. We changed the entry to reflect the location of the lake found at one end of the road to avoid further confusion. Thanks for your support.

  53. Hi!
    Well, I finally understand what probably happened. I think the issue was the original source was listing roads under where they began or ended but I did not realize that when I wrote the article.
    I generally work with lists created by others than flesh them out into an actual feature article. But thanks you for your kind words and for reading my stuff!

  54. Well, you have to know what country you’re in – in order to put the road in Google Maps. It is essential to know where you’re located before going in order to find a particular road and the article should be correct or NOT written. Journalists should be credible and accurate‼️

  55. I agree you need to know where the road starts and where it ends and all the countries it runs through or Google Maps. Here we can focus on a specific starting point or a specific end point. Indeed, we sometimes do exactly that to meet word count limitations. Thanks for your support.

  57. Yes, or any other search engine. I try to coordinate it with the country I am writing about, in general,

  59. Hi!
    There is no need to be disappointed. The entry simply reflects the location of the lake found at one end of the road to avoid further confusion. Thanks for your support.

  61. Hello!
    I totally agree. I think sometimes we may have translation issues. That’s why I value proofreading! Againt though, I agree. Even if you disagree with someone, you can still be civil.

  65. Oh, da, multe dintre aceste locuri sunt frumoase, dar eu nu sunt sigur că noi toți ar putea sta toate că lol emoție nu-mi place chiar de conducere pe marginea exterioară a drumurilor de munte lol Multumesc pentru sprijinul tau!

  66. I get read your own article. It’s extremely helpful. We will benefit a great deal from the item. Fluent

  68. Every weekend i used to pay a visit this web page, because i
    want enjoyment, as this this website conations truly nice funny
    data too.

  69. Hello! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I had
    to ask. Does running a well-established blog such as yours require a lot
    of work? I am brand new to blogging but I do write in my diary on a daily basis.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and feelings online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or
    tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

  72. hi!,I like your writing very so much! share we be in contact extra approximately your article on AOL? I require an expert in this space to solve my problem. Maybe that’s you! Looking forward to see you.

  73. Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

  74. Thanks for your publication on this web site. From my own personal experience, many times softening way up a photograph may provide the digital photographer with a little an inventive flare.
