Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps
Search the web for ‘best driving roads’ and you’ll likely come across the Stelvio Pass, a dramatic route that cuts through the Italian Alps near the Swiss border. Hosts of the popular auto show ‘Top Gear’ once named this pass the ‘greatest driving road in the world.’ It was constructed by the Austrian Empire in 1820, and contains somewhere near 50 hairpin turns, making it a destination for petrolheads near and far.
