Stellvio - Sta Maria: 35 hairpins
Sta Maria - Zernez - St. Moritz: 3 hairpins
Stelvio - Bormio: 28 hairpins
Bormio - Tirano - Lake Como: almost all motorway
Bormio - Livigno - Bernina - St. Moritz: 11 hairpins
St. Moritz - Maloja - Chiavenna - Lake Como: 11 hairpins
St. Moritz - Julier - Thusis - San Bernardino: 15 hairpins
Martigny - Tunnel du Gd St-Bernard - Aosta: 7 hairpins
Aosta - Petit St-Bernard - Bourg St-Maurice- Annecy): 43 hairpins
Thanks so much for the details of the drives. We watched some recorded videos posted online by drivers of some of the passes we have in our itinerary. I guess much of any concern depends on the volume of traffic that we might encounter. I'm hoping in early July we might be ahead of the summer busy season.
