Stelvio National Park, Italy

Our plan for 2015 is to walk in the Stelvio National Park.

It lies in the northeast of Italy on the border of Switzerland and west of the Dolomites.

The highest mountain is Ortler/Ortles at 3905m and it is surrounded by rugged mountains and a network of deep valleys.

It is the largest Alpine National Park in Italy, 1307 square kilometres.
