Drivers AtlasThe world's best roads

The best motorhome and campervan routes, country by country

Scenery without the roads that will pin you against a rock face. Filtered for width and gradient in every country we cover, with the ones to avoid named outright.

A motorhome is limited by width, height and turning circle rather than by power. Most graded alpine passes are built for coaches and are perfectly manageable, while a handful of famous roads are genuinely unsuitable and finding that out halfway up is expensive.

These country pages push single track, unclassified and very steep roads down the ranking and lift wide, well graded routes. Always check the posted restrictions against your real dimensions before you commit to a pass.

Checked by the Drivers Atlas desk

Scored and written by the Drivers Atlas editorial desk, drawing on driven routes across the UK and Europe, mapping data and member road reports. Rankings combine the Atlas driving and scenery scores with a fit score written specifically for motorhomes and campervans. How we score roads.

The criteria

What we rank for

Pushed up the list

  • Two lane roads with a formal road number rather than unclassified lanes
  • Graded passes built for coaches, which are almost always fine for a motorhome
  • Regular pull offs and viewpoints large enough to actually stop in
  • Gradients under roughly one in seven for comfortable ascent and descent

Pushed down, or worth avoiding

  • Hardknott and Wrynose passes, which are genuinely unsuitable and signed as such
  • The Bealach na Ba, which carries an explicit warning against large vehicles
  • Narrow gorge roads with rock overhangs, where height rather than width is the limit
