Right to the top, over 11,300 ft on the Pic Veleta in the Sierra Nevada, Spain. Turin enthusiasts Mario Artusio and his father make the climb on their R69S BMW. They are hoping to get an Italian mountain rally jacked up next summer. The Veleta road comes to a stop at the summit and therefore cannot rank as a pass to claim the highest in Europe.
