D219 is one of the scariest roads in Europe. Impassable for two cars at the same time, driving this road becomes a challenge, with terrific cliffs in both sides.
D219 starts in Le Bourg-d’Oisans, a little town in the Department of Isère, in the Rhone Alps, and finishes in Villard-Notre-Dame. 
This road, which is carved into the sheer rock face, brings you up into the high mountains and ends at a picturesque village. A hairpin bend to the left, 8km away from Bourg-d'Oisans, brings into view the course of the lower Vallée du Vénéon, which ends at the Aiguille du Plat-de-la-Selle.
The road follows the Romanche river route, and has a total length of 9.8km. This narrow and steep road, without guardrails, includes 9 hairpins and 3 tunnels. The approximate driving time is 13 minutes, and during the Winter months the road can be closed several times for the snow.
It is surrounded by several well-known mountain resorts, including Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes. The Écrins National Park lies to the south-east of Le Bourg-d'Oisans.
It's a spectacular, narrow road built like a balcony as it appears to overhang the Romanche Valley at times.
