GOODWIN’S BEST ROADS IN EUROPE

-

Take the D928 out of Châtillons­ur-seine and follow it until it turns into the D959 at Recey-sur-ource. It’s part of my route to Geneva and there’s never anyone on it. A mixture of twisty sections through woodland and wide open blasts. The Grossglock­ner pass in Austria is a famous hill climb venue, and when you drive it you’ll see why. I was once coming down it in a Porsche 356C Carrera when its brakes overheated. My passenger was most agitated. Forget the hyped Stelvio pass in Italy and instead drive the Furka pass in eastern Switzerlan­d. Gletsch is the town you’ll start from and the 6 is the road itself. It’s a fast road with a great surface and lunarlands­cape views at the top.
