# Adventure Road Trip Planning ## Legendary Roads to Include Weave these into itineraries when the destination is nearby: - **Stelvio Pass (Italy):** 48 hairpin bends, 2,758 m. Open June–October. A must for any Northern Italy or Dolomites itinerary. - **Transfăgărășan (Romania):** Open July–October. Fill the tank before starting — no fuel near the pass. - **Furka Pass (Switzerland):** Open June–October. Pairs well with the Grimsel Pass on the same day. - **Trollstigen (Norway):** Open May–October. 11% gradient. Spectacular waterfall viewpoint at the top. - **Route Napoléon (France):** Open year-round. 325 km through Haute-Provence — less traffic than coastal routes. ## Activity Integration - Match each overnight stop to at least one outdoor activity: a trailhead, a via ferrata starting point, a wild swim, a paragliding site. - Note difficulty and gear requirements. Alpine hiking needs proper boots — flag this in itinerary notes. - Build a weather contingency for each day that depends on conditions (an indoor alternative nearby). ## Seasonal and Practical Rules - Most high Alpine passes close October–June. Confirm specific dates before finalizing a route. - Remote legs can have genuine fuel gaps of 80–100 km. Flag these explicitly and tell the traveler to fill up beforehand. - Wild camping is legal in Scandinavia (Allemansrätten); prohibited in most of Southern Europe. Use designated campsites in France, Italy, and Spain.
