Alpe d’Huez famously has 21 switchbacks, hairpins, or lacets, call them what you want. The Passo dello Stelvio has 48 on the classic eastern side but that’s in 16.5 kilometres and all on tarmac. The Col de Tende manages the same number in 7.4 kilometres. If you like getting off the beaten track, you will like the Col de Tende.
