Passo Stelvio - Stilfserjoch

Few places in Lombardy have a history as closely tied to Alpine road engineering as Passo Stelvio, also known as Stilfserjoch. At 2,757 metres, this mountain pass marks the boundary between Lombardy and South Tyrol in the Ortler Alps. Its celebrated road was built between 1820 and 1825 under Austrian rule, following plans by engineer Carlo Donegani. The eastern descent is recognised for its 48 numbered hairpin bends, while the surrounding high country belongs to Stelvio National Park. The pass has also become a demanding fixture in professional cycling, including the Giro d’Italia. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Ortler Alps.
