Looks too green for Stelvio, but happy to be corrected. Mine was a guess.

It's real, the stelvio pas or Passo di Stiffelsjocher, the view from the top:

But some of the hairpins are v.tight and almost single lane, I preferred going up the other side to coming down the side in these shots.

I'm with LP on this one, and Stelvio is lots of hairpins tightly packed, they seem too spread out.

Nope it's the Stelvio, just from a high shot I think, fits with my photos of it fro the other perspective. Colours may have been photo shop enhanced.

Alpe D'Huez is pretty smooth in comparison, done that in the cage a couple of times.

Happy to meet up there to settle any difference in opinion, say 13th/14th/15th September? ;)

You know you're going to be sore by the end of that run, all that leaning off!

As long as it is ONLY leaning and NOT FALLING off I don't think I'd mind!

Would be a good tyre scrubber-in!
