Driving the Great Alpine Passes

The classic season runs June to September, and the finest loops pair several passes in a day.

Stelvio offers 48 numbered hairpins, the Grossglockner road climbs to glacier viewpoint at 2,504 m, and the Swiss trio of Furka, Grimsel and Susten forms the legendary three pass day.

Start early, fuel up, and expect snow walls higher than the car well into July..
