#Stilfserjoch #PassoStelvio #UmbrailPass 2nd Stop. . . The #Stelvio #Pass #PassoDelloStelvio Giogo dello Stelvio #Stilfser #Joch is a #mountain pass in northern #Italy bordering #Switzerland at an #elevation of 2,757 m (9,045 ft) above sea level. It is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern #Alps, and the second highest in the Alps, 7 m (23 ft) below France's Col de l'Iseran (2,764 m (9,068 ft)). The pass is located in the #OrtlerAlps in Italy between #Stilfs ("Stelvio" in Italian) in South #Tyrol and #Bormio in the province of #Sondrio. It is about 75 km (47 mi) from #Bolzano and 200 m from the Swiss border. The #Umbrail Pass runs northwards from the Stelvio's western ramp, and the "Three Languages Peak" (Dreisprachenspitze) above the pass is so named because this is where the Italian, German, and Romansh language-speaking areas meet. The road connects the Valtellina with the #Vinschgau #valley and the town of #Meran. Adjacent to the pass road there is a large summer skiing area. Nearby mountains include Thurwieserspitze, Piz Umbrail, Piz Cotschen, and to the east, the mighty #Ortler. . #biking #BikeTour #MTB #Cube #IG_Italia #IG_Switzerland (hier: Passo Stelvio - Stilfserjoch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiF85dHoajk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wow, was eine schöne Runde…Italien –> Schweiz –> Italien –> Schweiz –> Italien. Klasse Runde über den Umbrailpass ((2.501m) und dem Ofenpass (2.149m) bei bestem Kaiserwetter. Und Saskias „Reise–Fuzz“ sitzt bei Saskia auf dem Motorrad in der ersten Reihe 😊 .Die Fahrt ging auch durch einen Tunnel –> Munt-la-Schera-Tunnel –> 3.385m im Einbahnverkehr, geregelt durch eine Ampelanlage.

Bellissimi i passi montani eh, ma non in macchina.

Heading further south towards the Umbrailpass you take the Ofenpass first. At its end you reach the beautiful little village Santa Maria, a perfect place to stay for a coffee or a small lunch between these two beautiful mountain-roads. In our case we the Umbrailpass was closed so that we hat to go back across the Ofenpass and take the tunnel to livigno instead.
