Pico de Veleta - The Highest Road in Europe. Climbing the Pico de Veleta is one of the great cycling challenges in Europe. The mountain is the third highest peak in Spain, and also the highest paved road in Europe. It perhaps lacks the fame of Tourmalet, Ventoux or Alpe d'Huez; but Veleta is longer and tougher than all of them. Veleta is in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Andalucia, with the climb beginning in the city of Granada.
Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park. The Scene: Climbing the highest paved through road in the nation, drivers have the unique ability to see all the way to Wyoming in the north, to Coloradoâs vast plains and Longs Peak to the east, and to the headwaters of the Colorado River in the west.
