I drove up to the top of the pass (Passo Stelvio) in July 2009. My first time driving in Europe. My first time driving a left hand drive car. Definitely not my last. The drive up from Prato Allo Stelvio, around all the hairpins was exciting. The view from the top was awesome. The trip down to Bormio was beautiful with the sun beaming down into the valley. After a few drinks and a meal, I headed back up again and discovered the short cut into Switzerland. That was simply scary! Can't wait to head back some time - next time on a mountain bike for sure!
