Description:


The Passo dello Stelvio is the highest pass in Italy. It is situated in the Alps Retiche, to the north-west of the Montuoso group of the Ortles-Cevedale. Many consider it scenically the nicest of all the Alpine passes. It is possible to climb the Stelvio from two different sides; from Bormio and from Prato, both in Italy. However, it is also possible to reach the Stelvio from Switzerland, namely from St. Maria; see the Passo Umbrail (2501 m). From the starting point Bormio, one can go to Mazzo di Valtellina, the starting point of the Mortirolo.
The Passo dello Stelvio is situated in Lombardy. Starting from Bormio, the Passo dello Stelvio ascent is 21.5 km long. Over this distance, you climb 1533 heightmeters. The average percentage is thus 7.1 %. Look for other sides to climb the Passo dello Stelvio .

Story by adolfo from los angeles, United States, submitted on 7/20/2010
I did the race ""re della montagna"" in the early nineties...what stands out in my mind was the snow at the top and the descent whereby I had to use different parts of my hand to operate the brake lever since I had to more squeeze power!!
My personal climb rating: 5 stars
Story by Martin from , UK, submitted on 5/9/2007
This is the "other" side of the Stelvio. So not 48 hairpins, "just" 40 or so. But on the plus side the road surface is a lot better than its more famous twin also the signs on the hairpins are prettier! As the profile shows the last couple of km are the toughest so keep some energy in reserve. Also, from bitter experience, if it is raining at the bottom it may be snowing at the top! So take plenty of warm clothing and something to keep your hands dry as descending the famous hairpins on the other side is tricky at the best of times but close to suicidal when the road is icy and you cant feel your fingers!
Story by Mauro from Tirano, Italy, submitted on 1/6/2007
I climbed Stelvio from Bormio many times. it is a nice climb,with a modest average (7%) but is a long journey to reach the sky : be careful because the last 3 km are terrible, for the tiredness but above all for the altitude, for less oxygene (you are at 2400 until 2758): great climb for every ciclo-amateur!!
