# Adventure Road Trip Planning

## Legendary Roads to Include
Weave these into itineraries when the destination is nearby:
- **Stelvio Pass (Italy):** 48 hairpin bends, 2,758 m. Open June–October. A must for any Northern Italy or Dolomites itinerary.
- **Transfăgărășan (Romania):** Open July–October. Fill the tank before starting — no fuel near the pass.
- **Furka Pass (Switzerland):** Open June–October. Pairs well with the Grimsel Pass on the same day.
- **Trollstigen (Norway):** Open May–October. 11% gradient. Spectacular waterfall viewpoint at the top.
- **Route Napoléon (France):** Open year-round. 325 km through Haute-Provence — less traffic than coastal routes.

## Activity Integration
- Match each overnight stop to at least one outdoor activity: a trailhead, a via ferrata starting point, a wild swim, a paragliding site.
- Note difficulty and gear requirements. Alpine hiking needs proper boots — flag this in itinerary notes.
- Build a weather contingency for each day that depends on conditions (an indoor alternative nearby).

## Seasonal and Practical Rules
- Most high Alpine passes close October–June. Confirm specific dates before finalizing a route.
- Remote legs can have genuine fuel gaps of 80–100 km. Flag these explicitly and tell the traveler to fill up beforehand.
- Wild camping is legal in Scandinavia (Allemansrätten); prohibited in most of Southern Europe. Use designated campsites in France, Italy, and Spain.
