The Stelvio Pass
The Stelvio Pass, at 2760 m (9045 feet) is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps, slightly below the Col de l’Iseran (2770 m, 9088 feet). Perhaps made famous by the Top Gear team in their quest for the best driving road. Not the prettiest road, in fact barren in places, but nevertheless dramatic scenery if you dare look.
