Toll road of 116 curves up the Dobratsch massif.
The Villacher Alpenstraße is a 16.5km toll road climbing the Dobratsch massif above Villach in Carinthia, running from Möltschach to the Rosstratte viewpoint at about 1732m. It is known for its 116 curves and sustained gradient that test a car's brakes and cooling, with wide panoramas over the Drava valley and Julian Alps. Mind the relentless curves, the toll and reduced winter access.
