Stelvio Pass (Passo dello Stelvio, Stilfser Joch) in Italy is one of the most famous driving roads in Europe - and the world. It is the highest paved road in the Eastern Alps with an elevation of 2,757m above sea level, and the second highest paved road in the whole Alps. With around 60 hairpins in total it is a road that ended up on many road trip enthusiasts bucket lists after they saw the iconic Top Gear episode 'In search of driving heaven', with Jeremy Clarkson concluding that Stelvio Pass was "the greatest driving road in the world".

Known for its variety of pistes and legendary après-ski parties, the village is jam-packed with skiers and snowboarders in winter.
