Stelvio Pass, Italy

My wife and I love challenging roads and are avid viewers of the BBC’s Top Gear programme, so were inspired when watching this weeks show, where the presenters go off in search of Europe’s greatest driving road and end up showing the Stelvio Pass, just over the Swiss border into Italy.

We are now planning a trip to this location next year – the pass is only open from June to early October!

I’ve read a few forum post from people who’ve driven this road, many of whom mention that they were driving through snow in August! Nothing to worry about there then.

Must remember to get the brakes checked before we go! B->
