Why
The Passo dello Stelvio at 2,757 m is the highest paved through-pass in the eastern Alps — a full-day landmark drive up the Valtellina and the stacked hairpins above Bormio.
The pass is open only in the summer months and closes by snow for much of the year; opening dates shift annually and are confirmed per booking.
