The road around the Cime de la Bonette is not strictly speaking a col either, but it is the highest point in the Alps accessible via two different roads. Outside the Alps, in Spain’s Sierra Nevada, the Pico Veleta can be climbed from the north side via a paved road to a few meters below the summit with a height of 3396 meters. This road is closed to motorized traffic.
