Driving mountain roads without drama
Licences, fog, and the last kilometre.
Before you set off
An international driving permit is required and is checked at rental counters. Mountain roads are narrow, unlit, and often single-lane with passing places.
Fill the tank at the last town. There is no petrol above 1,200 metres on most of these routes.
The road to the farm is part of the farm visit, and it is the dangerous part.
The last kilometre
Farm access roads are concrete strips at 20–30 per cent gradient with no barrier. If you are not confident, park at the bottom and walk.
Do not drive them after rain, and do not drive them in a car you rented in the city with city tyres.
