Europe's most beautiful roads to discover in 2022

Smugglers route - Andorra

We kick off this list with the Smugglers route in Andorra. The starting point is in Andorra la Vella. It will be a journey with many challenges. On the motorcycle you will end up in areas that usually don’t have a paved road. Therefore you will have to ride offroad on your motorcycle. You will ride across beautiful creeks and the east side of the Pyrenees. This route is 185 kilometers long and is known as the so-called Smugglers route.

ChromeBurner advises you at all times to bring the right motorcycle with you to Andorra. This is important because otherwise you will be constantly fussing with your vehicle, which will result in you having less time to enjoy the route.

On the Smugglers route there aren’t that many hotels. Make sure you arrange your stay up front, especially in the crowded high season!

The real offroad motorcyclist will be sleeping in a tent. This will ensure the ultimate offroad experience.

 

Sa Calobra - Mallorca

Although this motorcycle route is relatively short with its 9.5 kilometers, this route has very sharp curves that bring you along steep cliff rotations and lead you up via deep chasms. At the end of this route you will have a magnificent view across the most beautiful parts of the island.

Sa Calobra (The Snake Road) has many rocks and height differences. While enjoying Sa Calobra, you will have very little to no trouble with tourism. You will have the best experience if you visit this motorcycle route in fall or spring. Because you’re riding in the off season, it isn’t crowded. In addition plane tickets to Mallorca are probably cheaper, which allows you to have more budget available to rent a good motorcycle.
