I had the pleasure of driving this road in June of this year. We were staying in Lake Garda for 2 weeks. Found Stelvio on the map and thought that considering it was so close it would be a shame not to
Hired a Smart Roadster and conkered 2 other passes on the way. Approached Stelvio from Bormio. As you can see in the picture, the sign post says CLOSED. I didn't read that part at the time so off we went. When we reached the summit there were people in ski jackets!
Unfortunately for us the section of road that continues down the other side was blocked with snow!! So I hope next September will be clear for you. We had to turn around and travel about 2km back down to find a turning which took us through the Swiss border. From here the road turned into a gravel/dirt track and we were worried if we had taken the right road. Turned out ok and we briefly passed through Switzerland.
The whole journey took us about 9 hrs and the misses was getting worried that we were getting lost.
Turned out to be a great day for us though.

I guess you guys will have more time on your hands!

Was thinking of something simlar myself, anyway count me in, although just starting as a police officer so speeding for me maybe a nono!!

OK where is the pass please, multi map pic will be fine for me, just so i can sort things

 

 

the driver in the elise is a bit of a ***** forceing other drivers out the way on the horn flashing his lights not a good advert

All the other Elise drivers knew he was coming through... as it was part of a planned trip..

Hi,

I used to have an Elise and a couple of my mates did Stelvio this year with SELOC the Lotus Owners Club.

Anyway to cut a long story short, i have all the plans and the route maps from the Elise guys, They really planned everything very thoroughly and did most of the groundwork that would be needed for this trip including route maps, hotels what to watch out for etc.

I would love to do the trip, so maybe if any of the organisers want copies of this stuff PM me and I will photocopy it all.

Cheers

Ash

I must invite you to go through Switzerland to go there , there are huge fun roads in my country.
And we are ready to meet scooby enthusiast from other country.

Pretty sure I could get the German Scooby contingent to participate and maybe some from Switzerland aswell.

 

Jo Black & Wurzel

Thanks for your posts - would be great to meet up with you guys next year - keep an eye out on here for developments.

 

Jo, just been through your thread on NASIOC, truelly awesome pictures

I think myself & MissyC will be up for this next year

It would be nice to have a bit of 'local knowledge' to find the best roads in the Alps and I'm actually getting a bit bored of the best roads in Wales & Scotland

It would be great to meet up with the German Scoobies too

Thank for your comment I 've got a small road book if you like , starting from Geneva with recommended hotels ( best quality /price )
If this could help let me know
It would be to try to organise a kind of european meeting near the Stevio.
Wurzel> We are a good number from the "french" part of Switzerland ... it might be easier for us to meet

 

Guys, the more the merrier

 

Hi joblack. that sounds like a plan, there are 5 of us, 3 Brits and 2 Australians, 4 of us are in south Germany and one in Zug in Switzerland, none of us speak French but I see you at least speak English. We will arrange times and places to meet closer to the time.

Cheers
Steve

Hey guys - those of you that haven't sent an email already - please send an email titled Stelvio to terry.buckel@btopenworld.com then I can send out the mailshots closer to the time.

Cheers
