I think Stelvio normally opens up from the Winter Sperr(Closure) in early June. They have to wait for all that snow to melt away - or enough so they can plow thru it.  In June they hold a bicycle race(Giro) too about then.
The first year we toured Stelvio in our Stelvio 1.0 tour we lucked out, since the pass was just opened up two weeks before and we had just missed the bicycle race as well.
I would suggest to drive Stelvio during a weekday. Stelvio can be quite crowded during the weekends.

Thanks Dackel.
My thought as well to do Stelvio during a weekday.
We'll be there for 3 weeks so that wont be a problem.
