I want us to start thinking about our 2nd annual Stelvio tour. We all had so much fun on last years trip. I feel that this year's trip will be even bigger and better!

This past weekend I took a drive down to Stelvio. The road was closed just past the start of the long climb up the mountain. But it will open in late May to early June - once most of the snow and ice melts.

I visited Francesca at her Post Hotel. I have arranged for a group stay price at the hotel. I just need to lock down a date for our tour. So... lets talk about when is a good time.

In talking to Francesca - she told me that in June is a bad time because there is the Giro bicycle race held in Nauders and then a week later on the Pass. Then a week after that is a big motorcycle event. So that puts us in July.

I was thinking of the 13th/14th of July. Would that work for all of you? What about getting to the Stelvio base early a day and driving some of the "other" passes near by? Flüela Pass on he way towards Davos was a really nice drive. Any other places you guys want to visit/drive?


Italian: Passo dello Stelvio
German: Stilfser Joch



Dackel


UPDATE... I have set a date for this years Stelvio tour....


Stelvio v2.0 trip on July 20th and 21st, 2013.

Optional: Some of us will also take off July 22nd and 23rd and spend two nights in the Kufstein area for more Alpine road driving. More details to come soon.

PLEASE check the last few pages of this thread for new info. I will try to keep this first page updated as well.


PS: for anyone wondering what our tour last year was like... just click on the LINK bellow my sig line...

That is not THAT far. Last year Rudi (gs/e60/1m?) drove from Belgium and Wade (Swadeness) drove from Spangdahlem. I think they had the longest drives. Most of us drove about 550+ kms (one way) to get to Stelvio.

^^ well... that is not how I meant it, but yea... that's pretty funny...


What ever date we decide... I know we are gonna have a BLAST!! Some of the guys from the Welt Team ORGA (the guys who are organizing the event) also want to join us. So it should be a really cool tour.

Really going to depend on if I have a 4 day weekend or not.

It is a 6.5 hour drive for me from SW to Stelvio. I reallllly want to go, but if I dont have a 4 day then it will require me driving later Friday night or super early on a Saturday morning then start heading back early-ish on Sunday.

Anyone have a USAREUR long range calendar handy to check for training holidays in July?

I have to see also as July I think is the month Bob and I are doing our "Renn adrenaline" experience. But would like to do it over the 4 day which would honestly be better.

Only problem is I talked to Rick and he can't do it over the 4th of July weekend. That is why I was thinking of 13th/14th or 20th/21st weekends of July. Plus we have a German friends to think about to coordinate with.

Man I hate to cut Rick out but July 4 would be awesome.
If I end up getting furloughed I'd be up for any weekend in July as I'll have every Friday off [without pay].

being local id also suggest the "ofen pass" from Zernez to Val Müstair if your already gonna do the "flüela pass"... definately the nicest pass to drive around that region...
you could do a loop incl the "stelvio pass" - ive done it before - takes about half a day.. if the dates fit im down.

Danke for that tip! I'll put down the "Ofen Pass" on our list.



Could is also be called: Fuorn Pass, 7532 Cierfs, Switzerland ???

Stelvio sounds always like a great idea. Did it last year, and might be there again today. But thats already planned and only 2 weeks after your date. We're doing this:

And on the way there we'll start in Stuttgart and drive to Monza, and may very well take a small detour to visit Stelvio again .

Oh anf FYI, If you didn't already know: Stelvio is now a toll-road.
