Nestled in the high Alpine setting of the
Ortler-Cevedale massif, the
Stelvio National Park in South Tyrol is one of the largest and most varied nature reserves in the entire Alps. Glaciers and rocky regions, as well as green meadows, forests, water and wilds characterize the park. 40% of its total area – including the entire Ortler Cevedale mountain range featuring the highest peaks in the south-eastern Alps – is located in South Tyrol.
The Stelvio Pass is a paradise for
hikers,
alpinists and
climbers, but also for
skiers at the
Solda glacier resort as well as families looking for adventurous holidays. Legendary events such as the
Stelvio Marathon, the
Eight-Summit March (8-Gipfel-Marsch) and the
Stelvio Bide Day are held annually at the Stelvio Pass.
