Stelvio Blitzers...
mjn77
I just happened to drive the Stelvio Pass the week or so after your European Tour with your GF. I had my eye out for Blitzers in the Stelvio are and found some. I also asked my friend's at Hotel Perego if they had heard of any mobile Blitzers on the Pass. They said only sometimes Carabinieri will lay in wait - but even that is quite rare. One reason why I really like driving in Italy vs say Switzerland.
I did see three Blitzers on the North side of the Pass - as I drove in the direction of Merano from the top of Stelvio. You have to go thru
Trafoi
, then after that is the old WWI fortress... there you will find a Blitzer.
And then further down the road somewhere around here:
Hotel Zentral...
Hauptstraße, 39026 Prad am Stilfserjoch, Bozen, Italy
and then one opposite the
Esso
gas station here...
Via Principale, 6, 39026 Prato Allo Stelvio BZ, Italy
On previous trips to Stelvio - I had only remembered a permanent Blitzer (camera high up on a pole) near some farm fields. On the
SP50
near this village:
Lichtenberg Montechiaro
Here are a few pics of my little weekend trip... I drove from Switzerland to Stelvio and then Sella and then thru the Grossglockner on back thru Kitzbuhel Austria and then back into Germany. Dackel
Hotel Perego - where I always stay in Stelvio.
Hotel Perego & the Museum inside of the local Bank(Banca).
There was a lot of traffic at 11am coming up the mountain!
Trafoi
now in the center of Trafoi. This is where the Southern road ends in the winter months!
WWI Fortress...
Blitzer coming up in 210 meters!...
Orange Box is the Blitzer...
and another one further down the road...
Can you spot the Blitzer?
The local cops(municipal) just happened to be at the Esso in their Skoda.
Now driving near Sella...
