Highest road you've been on?

Whats the highest (as in altitude) proper road (not offroad trail) you've driven on in the UK?
Highest I have been is Wanlockhead in Scotland which sits 467 metres above sea level, or 1500 feet.

Not sure about U.K., but in Europe; GrossGlockner (vehicle testing), bloody hot; and Jungfrau (leisure), bloody cold. Both in midsummer (different years).

I've always had a bit of a fascination with driving to high up altitudes. I enjoy going up steep hills and feeling the car lose power as the air gets thinner lol. There's a few in the peak district which are like that but not many. Of course I also enjoy it for the views once you reach the top.

Just googled highest road in UK, and it says Cairnwell Pass (aka the Glenshee Road) is the highest "main" road at 670m, a road I've driven many times, so I guess my answer is that.

Scenic?

No, I've never owned a Renault.

The road is great, and yes the scenery adds to the occasion. Most mags and TV car shows have used that road. Here's JayEmm in my 2-11 on the bit between Glenshee Ski Center and Braemar which should give you a feel for it:
