By road

Via Europe’s extensive network of motorways, useful entry points to Italy for the Stelvio National Park are from Austria via the Brenner Pass and the A22 autostrada (motorway), or via Landeck through the Reschenpass. From Switzerland the Umbrail and Bernina passes will be open in summer, otherwise there is the A9 via Como to Milano.

Approaching the Torri di Fraele and Monte delle Scale (Walk 23)

Local transport

It is perfectly feasible to have a car-free holiday in the Stelvio National Park, and thus avoid contributing to air pollution and congestion. An excellent, extensive and reasonably priced network of trains and buses serves villages and valleys across the three regions and nearly all the walks in this guidebook start and finish at places accessible by public transport. This means that the driving is done by experts who know the roads and hairpin bends like the back of their hand, leaving passengers free to sit back and enjoy the magnificent scenery. Where there is no bus, a local taxi is usually available. Strategically placed cable cars and chairlifts are also used on several walks to facilitate ascents.
