Day 3 / part 1 – R8 V10 meets pass Stelvio…


After yesterday's more "relaxing" and sightseeing oriented R8 V10 cruise around Lake Garda, today we head for the real thing –
the second highest pass in the Alps: the all mighty pass Stelvio.
I have read reports, I have seen videos – but the real thing is something else.
After another splendid breakfast we packed up and off we went: Bolzano – Meran – the anticipation became bigger and bigger - Stelvio

The Ortler – highest mountain in the eastern alps, Stelvio is not far

Getting aquainted



Just beautiful




We made it that far




Our dear "compagnons" – we felt like a minority (-:



To give you an idea




Love this sequence




Finally at the top




"Wolfes" surrounding the "innocent white sheep"




Someone from the Italian Alpine Ski equipe knows how to spend the summer break (blue A4 avant)



More of the "wolfes" and the views



Have seen this view so often before, now we have "conquered" it with the Audi R8 V10 – am I dreaming?




Even more "wolfes"




The other side of Stelvio – there is our way down





After a short rest, waiting to be let loose again




Off we go…




Some nice tunnels and gallerias on the way down


Part 2 coming soon…
