No idea what the road from Stelvio to Bellagio is like but Bellagio-Como is VERY tight in places.

The road back down the other side of the peninsula towards Lecco is much less hairy.

As this is billed as a greatest hits tour we will probably be sticking to the places we know and trust. The road from Bellagio to Como is very tight as you say, not much fun, the west side is still tight but enjoyable and we will be stopping in Menaggio.
Ah, the 'Top Gear' side of the lake.
Grand Hotel Menaggio? One of my faves. Lovely spot.As this is billed as a greatest hits tour we will probably be sticking to the places we know and trust.

Just held most of September 2021 in my diary to make sure I can say I've already booked holiday!We're in (exact dates permitting, of course).
I really liked it too. Stayed there on road trip between Santander and Cuenca. Amazing tapas & beer crawls. Rioja central. Good value, nice atmosphere. In fact love all those inland Spanish towns off the British tourist radar - see also Salamanca, Zaragoza, Cuenca, Cordoba...Had a long weekend in Longrono for my mates 40th, lovely place. So many bars it's a favourite for Spanish stag dos!

Which hotel do you use in Logrono?
Do I need to buy another Maserati to attend?
When is the MC20 released?
They're renaming it MC25. That'll probably give you an idea.....
There's plenty of vineyard tours and wine tasting in the area (obviously).
Some of the bars are so funny. Literally a door in a wall, with only room for 2 people!
The silliest thing I saw there was the tiny beer glasses you could get. Must be about a mouthful in the smallest.
^^. done the stelvio with another grouo - and each car had decent walkie-talkie so were able to make the most of it. Agree there are better mountain passes, but it is a box to tick. Views are still epic. Better driven in a soft top too for visibility in the chicanes. The elevation change around the bends renders every uphill a blind corner.There must at least three passes within that locale. Lesser known. Every bit as dramatic and better to drive...
I would personally never bother with Stelvio again. its a tourist trap. Cyclists, buses, endless cars. Yawn !
