Resort/City Information - STELVIO |  | Stelvio located in Italy, at 2757 m (9045 feet) is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps, slightly below the Col de lIseran (2770 m, 9088 feet). The Cîme de la Bonette (2802m, 9192 feet) is not a proper pass but merely a loop with start and end only metres apart at the Col de la Bonette (2715 m).
It is located in the Italian Alps north of Bormio in the province of Sondrio and south of Stilfs in the province of Bolzano-Bozen, some 75 km (47 mi) from Bolzano, close to the Swiss border, as the Umbrail Pass joins the Stilfser Jochs southern ramp nearby. The Three languages peak (Dreisprachenspitze) above the pass is so named because this is where the Italian, German and Romansh languages meet.
The road connects the Valtellina with the upper Adige valley (Vinschgau) and Meran. The most important mountain range next to the Stilfser Joch is the Ortler Alps. Adjacent to the pass road there is a large summer skiing area. Important mountains nearby include Ortler, Monte Livrio, Monte Scorluzzo and Monte Zebrù.
