What is an example of a mountain winding road?

The Stelvio Pass

Location: Bormio, Italy

Description: The Stelvio Pass is a high mountain pass in the Ortler Alps on the border between Italy and Switzerland. It is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps overall. The pass lies at an elevation of 2,757 meters (9,045 feet) above sea level.

The Stelvio Pass is a popular destination for cyclists and motorcyclists due to its challenging and scenic route. The road is steep, narrow, and winding, with many hairpin turns. There are also several tunnels along the route, including the famous Umbrail Tunnel, which is nearly 3 kilometers (2 miles) long.

The Stelvio Pass is open from late May to October, depending on the weather conditions. It is not recommended to drive on the pass in winter, as the road is often icy and snow-covered.

Fun Fact: The Stelvio Pass has been featured in several movies and television shows, including "The Italian Job" (1969) and "Top Gear" (2007).
