Background video: mountain roads in France

The best roads in France – Cols, road trips and routes to discover

Strada1 is a mobile app to create car and motorcycle convoys, follow friends in real time and explore the best mountain roads — in France and beyond.

From the Alps to the Pyrenees, here are five Strada1 cards with the same numbers as on our visuals (altitude, gradient, length). Find them on the public map in the app to plan, drive and convoy.
