Stelvio Pass, Italy:
Located in the Eastern Alps in Italy, the Stelvio Pass Road connects
the Valtellina with Merano and the upper Adige valley. This mountain
road pass is situated at an altitude of around 1.7 miles above sea
level. The road is particularly challenging to drive due to the
presence of 48 hairpin bends, with the road becoming exceedingly narrow
at some points, and some very steep inclines. With a height of 2757
meters, it is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps and
the second highest in the Alps, after the 2770 m high Col de lIseran.
While it might not be as dangerous as the other routes, it is certainly
breathtaking. The toughest and most spectacular drives are from the
Prato side. The mountain pass is one of the best continuous hairpin
routes in the world.
