Yeah... Stelvio is a great pass. I've been there many times. I would also say to drive Flüela Pass too while you are in that area. Gambia Pass is mental bc there are only guardrails at the lower parts of the pass. Once you get half way up... no guardrails and lots of fog. I still get the shivers thinking about it!!
You can look up my Stelvio 1.0 and 2.0 trips in my ED Museum thread. Lots of nice hotels in this area. Be sure to stop in Nauder's there is a nice castle there. And further up the highway is the famous Nauder's Festung(a WWI fortress) carved into the mountain pass! We did a tour of it. I like to stay in Pfunds, Austria.
Here are some pics to inspire your next adventure!...
a reservoir on the road from Nauders to Stelvio. Makes for a great pit stop.
Pfunds, Austria
Last Austrian gas station before driving into Italy. Gas is way more expensive in Italy!!
