Brief History
Original road was built in 1820-25 by the Austrian Empire to connect the former Austrian province of Lombardy with the rest of Austria. The engineer and project manager was Carlo Donegani (1775-1845). Since then, the route has changed very little. Its seventy-five hairpin turns, 48 of them on the northern side numbered with stones, are a challenge to motorists.
During World War I in 1914-18, Italian and Austrian-Hungarian troops fought a mountain warfare that involved the border region around the Stelvio Pass. Soldiers lost their lives in combat, or due to avalanche or rockfall accidents in the high alpine environment. Here the world's highest battle was fought during World War I. The dramatic images of the encounters between 1915 and 1918, memorabilia from the so-called White War and even a reconstruction of a trench can be seen at the Carlo Donegani History Museum.

When my wife drove up there, the traffic was awful; it took us more than twice the time to get to the Passo di Stelvio. You were lucky to find such a free road and I was lucky to travel with you!
Rode my bike over this pass from both sides two weeks ago. Thank you for reminding me what it looks like when you are not exhausted to the point of tears. Great memories. Beautifully filmed. 👍
Glad to help!
A video that is worth watching. Good luck and God bless always. Greetings from the Philippines. Grazie Italy...
Beautiful, it's been 36 years since my brother and I drove up this pass, so this brings back wonderful memories of that past holiday. Thanks for the 4k treat !
I’ve watched a few drives on You Tube, and I’m fascinated by these high Alpine passes. I like your videos best because you don’t drive too fast and you also stop to allow us to admire the stunning views. Thank you.
Beautiful drive. The route, however, is not very comfortable. Many thanks. Looking forward to watching many more beautiful drives.
Stupende panoramiche, bellissimo viaggio, grazie di cuore! L'Italia è il Paese che amo di più!
NEVER TIRED TO WATCH SPLENDID ROADS LIKE THIS...INCREDIBLY NICE!!! WAITING FOR THE NEXT VIDEO, GREAT JOB...
Holy grail of all mountain passes. Not too much traffic on the way.
Beautifully filmed. The whole route is breathtaking but I thought the first half hour was especially thrilling. The gain in altitude is just ridiculous! Thank you for taking me there - someday, I hope to do it in person.
I have seen this video twice and I am sure I will see it again, what a beautiful road trip! I totally love it!Thanks for stopping and show us the magnificent views from up there! Awesome pass!
Amazing view 👍🏻. I love it. Thank you 🙏😊
Greatest road video of all time. Something I've always dreamed about doing. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@7ze3 I would like to see a video about the Transfăgărășan in Romania! Its quite a mountain highway. If you could do it together with the Transalpina, that would be a magnificent road film!
I just did over an hour on my cross trainer watching this 💪
I was only going to do half an hour but this beautiful scenery is hypnotic 😊
Magnificent video, spectacular views, thoroughly enjoyed the journey, thank you.
Very scenic drive tour, thanks!
Thank you for this magnificent drive! Especially loved the "outside of the car" video at several places. We have driven through so much of Austria over the years and recently have twice had holidays there postponed. When we are able to return to Europe, we are now planning dividing our time between northern Italy and Austria - thanks to your wonderful drives.
My blood pressure!!! Wow! Stunning views
So glad I found this. Last time I did the Stelvio was early June 1984 in a 1926 Frazer-Nash - we had to reverse on several of the upper hairpins as we didn't have much lock and a solid back axle as well. Our brakes were 10" cable brakes!! I remember the tunnels heading down to Bormio - there were large rocks over quite a lot of the road.
Thanks for sharing!
Less traffic too I bet
What a great asset you are to the RUclips channel. These videos will be cherished forever amongst the planet earth lovers. Please keep sending us many more sensational videos like this one. I hope Google realises the importance of driving tours. drone tours and walking tours. These videos entice the traveler to discover new areas to explore. Especially when you take us through all the wonderful scenic minor roads. It gives us all a great opportunity to observe the authentic way of life and charming architecture. Thank you for addressing to us the name of each town throughout the trip.
Awesome video at the right pace, it's probably the toughest road I have driven in Europe, that too in a Renault Clio Diesel, in July 2022.-The Amazing Stelvio Pass - Sudtirol Alto Ridge
This video is exactly what I was looking for.! I wanted video to do the talking. Great job!!! I now have a great idea of what the Stelvio pass drive is like. A picture is worth a thousand words but your video is worth a thousand likes! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
thank you :)
I can drive from Florida to New York, but in a million years I would never try your hairpin curves!! It is just amazing going along with you! Thanks!!
I’m the opposite lol. I find driving around the East Coast quite boring but this is something else!
I am very interested to drive roads like this. Pandemic ruined our planned trip.
Das virtuelle Befahren der Haarnadelkurven des Stilfser Jochs ist ein Traum! Dies ist eine Bergstraße, die die eigenen Fähigkeiten bis an die Grenzen herausfordern kann, um es bis an die Spitze zu schaffen. Sein atemberaubendster Aspekt bleibt die Aussicht, wenn man ihn erklimmt.
Just did this 2 weeks ago in a convertible, there wasn’t much traffic and already lots of snow. Roof down enjoying the views, it was amazing. Watching this takes me back and enjoy again, good filming!
I hope I will go there one day with my bike. Thanks for reminding me, what a nice road to ride one more time with your perfect filming .
Wow, stunning. Thank you.
A fantastic video on this winding road

The village at the end of the road..It's relaxing....
I need a cup of tea.
Add some strong alcohol, and I'll join you. You really have to commit to this road. Not for the faint hearted.
Stunning !!
Люблю автомобили и дороги! Смотрю на прекрасные виды и надеюсь когда нибудь совместить это в одно прекрасное удовольствие - ПУТЕШЕСТВИЕ!!!!!
Очень просто. Начнёте - не остановитесь. Хоть - на своём авто, хоть - на прокатном.
С нашими зарплатами?

Beautiful video !
Maravilhoso viajo com seus vídeos muito obrigada thank you
I grew up in Bormio, nice video, a tip to avoid traffic on the pass.... ride it early!
Very true!
Wer diesen Pass nicht kennt, hat die Straßen der Alpen verpennt. Ein Hochgenuss für Kilometerfresser und Landschaft-Fans...! Einfach nur gut! ever ever ever...
I come from Himachal, wherein we have similar steep and narrow roads. Your skill is appreciable!
A small panic moment for me was when a car came on a corner 07:09, in India we have Right hand drive cars which means we drive in left lane :D, took me about a second to realize you have been driving in the right lane and were safe!
WOW!!! Thank you !!!! GOOD LUCK!!
Thank you!
Beautiful View ..
καλες γιορτες ωραιο βιντεο !!! ΑΠΟ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ !!!!
It's a very nice view.
I like watching videos of steep roads, but I'm not good at running.
whoa what an amazing place
Beautiful sceneries. Thanks! Fellow driver, Salute from a little south... Rome ) Have a nice weekend
How lovely this place is. Hope i can visit it sometimes :)
Maravilhosas imagens ❤
No background music means no noise __mountains are for the spirit and the soul silence is god here
Ein wunderbares Erlebnis auf dem Hometrainer Deinem ausgezeichneten Video zur Passhöhe zu folgen.
Da die Geschwindigkeit auf 0,5 oder 0.75 anpassbar ist, komme ich nicht zu sehr ins Schwitzen.
Vielen Dank für die ausgezeichnete Arbeit : Die richtige Tageszeit bei noch wenig Verkehr, günstigem Sonnenstand
und der hohen Auflösung bei ruhiger Fahrt! Jetzt kann ich die Winterzeit gut überbrücken.
Viele Grüße von Ralf
Danke!
Keep it up.. nice video...👏👍
Paradise....🥰
Very nice video 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Thank you
Wow , this route will definately give the cars gearbox a workout .
Second gear by 6.000 rpm and maybe third when possible. Mountain up EDIT down around 5.000 rpm what I have driven, so you must not alot brake the way down. Seat Altea XL 90 PS. Every time I feel bad for my car when I drive streets like that😅
And brakes, on the way back down...
@@Kayenne54 Yes it's true. But when you drive with the second gear and give not full throttle the way down, you must not break all the time. On the corners, some curves and especially on the third gear you will break often. The way up I drive most in the second, the motorbreak is very good in my case, so I tipping the break only.
When you(i) drive the mountain up like hell, sure, you will need in the valley new breaks. Drive the mountain down with that gear, you drive up. It is one master key what my drive teacher told me.
Are those bycucles with batteries ?
Nice video, keep it up 👍
Kerennnnn 😍
Wow it's amazing I like Italy's villages :) they're wonderful
Austrian even better
Nice Video ❤️
The Long and Winding Road👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇻🇨👊🏿🌈🎷🍷

How come no bicyclists going down, just up, in either direction? I think I might have seen two, but I think they were walkers.
I was there early - around 10 a.m., maybe thats why they didnt make it to the top yet
