Stelvio Pass

Forty-eight numbered hairpins stack up the north side of the Stelvio, climbing 50 km to 2,757 m, among the highest paved passes in the Alps. We draw it from real map data, matched to the road itself. The preview on screen is the finished poster, and it ships straight away.

The route

Engineer Carlo Donegani built the road for the Austrian Empire between 1820 and 1825 to link Lombardy with Austrian territory on the far side of the mountains, climbing 1,871 m in the process. The north side counts forty eight numbered hairpins marked by stone posts; the south side runs thirty four wider bends and six tunnels down toward Bormio.

Cyclists have raced over the pass since the Giro d'Italia first crossed it in 1953, when Fausto Coppi beat Hugo Koblet to the top; the race has honoured its own highest point each year as the Cima Coppi since 1965. Top Gear called it the greatest driving road in the world in 2007, and the numbered posts still count down the same bends for anyone testing that claim today.

Made for someone who drove it. Or for your own wall, because you did.
