Stilfser Joch-Serpentinen

She is also known as the "Queen of the Pass roads". Truly bold is the road leading up to 2757m, to one of the highest alpine passes. The 48-sweeping driveway of Prad is a true classic, but therefore often crowded. If you want to fight the 1800m high to the Stilfser Joch alone, this is best done in the low-traffic hours in the morning at 7 o'clock in the morning or at 8 o'clock in the evening. Quieter driveways are possible from Santa Maria or Bormio.

If you venture from Prad up the good 25 km mountain at a stretch, should divide his forces well. The first ten kilometers to Trafoi are still rather "easy", on average 6% against the subsequent 15 kilometers but rather flat. Anyone who approaches Trafoi too fast will pay tribute afterwards. Then it goes partly ramps between 10-13% high, especially shortly before the summit gives you the last rest. Depending on the training level you should plan a good three hours for about 25 km. The traffic is not really helpful in the summer against the mountain and itself. A mountain suitable translation (11-34) is extremely helpful and one should not be too bad, these in the preparation for the Stelvio into consideration to draw. Anyone who has made it to the top, can really appreciate and proud you get a terrific view and has earned the photo honestly!

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Stelvio as quickly as possible, then down to Bormio and on to Grosio. From there the Passo della Foppa leads over the Mortirolo to Monno. The Mortirolo is up to the Panorma the Stelvio in no way, is much lonelier and has little traffic.

I started in Trafoi, where the 48 bends begin. You first have to open up the hill and then do not back down. Because the track is already in the legs. A break on the Franzenshöhe can help!

An absolute highlight for every racing cyclist!
It is cold at just under 2,800! Always! Even on the warmest days of the year. :-)

The 48 bends of the Stelvio Pass are a must for anyone who likes racing bicycles in the Alps. Dodge the traffic by driving at dawn - who starts at sunrise in the summer, can look forward to a great experience that he has to share at most with a handful of like-minded early bird.

The 48 hairpin bends turn from Prad via Gomagoi, Trafoi and Franzenshöhe to the second highest paved mountain pass in Europe. Close to Trafoi the cyclist gets unrestricted views of the glacier and mountain
Rock formations of the Ortler group that will not let them go up to the top of the pass.

Without words 😉 You just have to do it once.

Absolute classic among the Alpine passes

For the ambitious racing cyclist this pass is required

In fact, downhill better to focus on the road and the serpentines always flow through liquid - great downhill, although the surface of the high alpine conditions sometimes not necessarily perfect.

This pass holds a whooping 42 switchbacks.. If you like to climb, this is for you..

The queen of the mountain passes. There is nothing more to say.

The queen of the pass roads

Absolutely - the most beautiful sweeping.

Not too distracted by the view of the Ortler. Here you can learn how to drive a curve

... almost no traffic is not right, at least not on a Saturday in August. But it is much less busy than the other two climbs to the Stelvio Pass.

Drive up these switchbacks for the first time, of course. As an unconditional recommendation, I can also give the tip to roll down ... You can enjoy this pass without agony and soak up every serpentine and can also easily collect photos for the memory

About Umbreilpass is almost no traffic

Thank you, dear Berg, that I was allowed to drive this fantastic road!

2019 Gran Stelvio driven. Mega experience and entry on the website 😅

A great experience, really fun and above all, even when it is freezing cold, there is great happiness.

The most beautiful snake in life!
