This past September, I visited Stelvio again. I never tire of driving up Passo Stelvio. This time of year... the weather was very touchy... the week before then had eight inches of snow. Luckily... we dodged that bullet. But the first week in October... Stelvio got hit by a major snow fall. The Italian Army(Air Force?) had to chopper the tourists out from the summit with ONE Huey!! 27 trips back and fourth! What a mess. I wonder how they got back to fetch their cars.
Anyways... here are my pics of Stelvio from this September 2018. I tried to stay the night at Hotel Perego - Francesca's Hotel... But they were fully booked up. Instead we stayed the night down at the base of Stelvio... at a very nice hotel called the
Hotel Traube, Paese, 1, 39029 Stelvio BZ, Italy
Enjoy my pics!

Albergo Ristorante Tibet - Passo dello Stelvio, 39029 Trafoi BZ, Italy
A cool place to walk up to and take some snaps... but the guy who owns this place is a royal ass. I don't recommend visiting here.
Kirchturm von Altgraun - SS40, 39027 Curon Venosta BZ, Italy
On the Reichen Pass road that goes thru Nauders and onwards into Austria. This is a cool place to stop for a few minutes.
Hotel Traube, Paese, 1, 39029 Stelvio BZ, Italy
The oldest German beer brewery...
since 1040!!
Hotel Traube, had wonderful food!! This was their dessert. I would visit here again. I had been here many years before... it's in a great location off the beaten path of the main road up to Stelvio(Bormio)summit. The owner was awesome. Such a great little family run hotel.
Giro Italia...
Festung Nauders or Fortrss Nauders... a WWI fortress carved into the mountain side. It's directly on the Reichen Pass road. But it's just before a covered bridge... so have your eyes peeled!
