Ski resort Passo Stelvio got it’s name from Stelvio Pass connecting Alta Valtellina with Alto Adige. The top point of the road is 2578 m a.s.l. which makes it one of the highest located passes in Europe.
The road leading to the pass is very picturesque itself, with 34 turns from one side and 48 turns on the other.
During the winter the Pass Stelvio is closed due to snowfall conditions, and so the opening of the road makes the beginning of the ( summer ) skiing season in the area.

The slopes descend from Punta degli Spiriti (3450m) to reach the level 2760m near the Pass.
