Hah,

we did stelvio in august this year and it was a nightmare - due to the fact that we were in a fiat punto, with 2 adults, 2 kids and camping gear - we were almost overtaken up hill by pushbikers :oops:  :oops:

so i suspect it really depends what car you are in as to how good the road is :roll:

regards

I want to ride up it on the bike. A friend has!!

It's used every few years in the Giro d'Italia, their national tour

Ranked as a premium race, along with Tour de France & the Vuelta (Spain)

Stelvio has long since been used in motorsport too. The old Alpine Rally and the Monte (I think) used it. And more recently Phillip Young has used it regularly for historic rallies. Nothing quite like an original 911RS or Lotus Cortina on full chat on the Stelvio hairpins  :D
