Where is this Stelvio Pass?

Stelvio Pass

Search the web for ‘best driving roads’ and you’ll likely come across Stelvio Pass, a dramatic route that cuts through the Italian Alps near the Swiss border. Top Gear once named this pass the ‘greatest driving road in the world’ and it poses a tricky challenge to motorists – former British F1 driver Sir Stirling Moss went off the road here during a vintage car event in the 1990s. It was constructed by the Austrian Empire in 1820 and contains somewhere near 50 hairpin bends, making it a destination for petrolheads near and far.
