Both ascents of the Stelvio have their challenges...the side we started on has 40 switchbacks, with two main tranches, an early section, and then a fairly steep section of switchbacks in the middle leading up to a long valley ascent to the Swiss border turnoff....there is also a section of tunnels after the initial switchback section. The grade on much of the climb is 7 or above, with some easier though brief sections.....
