Did You Know... Over 47 kilometers of hairpin turns make Stelvio Pass one of the most famous drives in Europe. Located in the Alps bordering Switzerland, the road can get crowded in the summer with cyclists and tourists. If this sounds like fun, make this a destination on your Northern Italy Tour and remember to get your International Driving Permit before you go!
