Passo Stelvio
4.
Read all the technical statistics about the
Stelvio you want, but nothing prepares you for
the emotional reality.
It’s crazy, like finding Led Zeppelin’s Stairway
to Heaven. You stand agog and find yourself
thinking, Wow! the Stairway to Heaven. It does
exist!
5.
An escape route for desperate people during
desperate times.
Expect to freeze to death on the descent to
Bormio or the Passo Umbrail. You will warm up,
eventually. It might just take a couple of days.
The entire pass is a surreal experience like a
computer-generated Holywood film backdrop
of an imagined mountain pass, but for real.
