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.
1 Loveland Pass is the highest road in the nation that is kept open year-round. 2  Hikes ranging from peak-bagging to family strolls have their trailheads at the top of the pass. 3  Backcountry skiers enjoy the easy access of the pass, meaning less hiking and more skiing.he Loveland Pass before the Eisenhower Tunnel was a traffic-choked chore, but now the pass offers access to some of Colorado's best backcountry wilderness featuring mountain vistas for the hikers and skiers who find them.
