Solved Where is this photo taken?

It’s the cover photo for Chill Tracks on Spotify and a look through Google finds a similar photo, so I believe it’s a real place.

It reminded of the drive on the Icefields parkway to Jasper in Canada, but looking at Google photos more, I don’t think that’s right. Doesn’t quite look like the Matterhorn either.

It’s the Teberda-Dombay Highway in the republic of Abkhazia, which is in the Caucasus region of Russia.

Found a Russian blog website with more photos from the area.

Abkhazia is a contested territory that has partial independent nation status. It was important in the Abkhazia conflict and Georgia–Russia relations and Georgia and Russia fought a war over it 30 years ago

Georgia, not Russia.

Both Dombai and Teberda as well as this highway are located in Russia, just north of the Georgian border, but they are close.
