It's also nice to stay overnight at the top of the pass.
For one, it gives you the opportunity to go up the top of the hill before the pass opens Cheers,

The trip started on July 4th; we came back on July 10th. Dunno if that's "summer", but according to our resident expert (the Elise driver who has been living in that region for half his life) this kind of weather is very unusual.
To illustrate, the same trip was organised last year, at almost the exact same dates. That time there was sunshine, and people with fixed roof and no aircon really suffered.

PMR
A PMR is a Portable Mobile Radio. Basically a walkie-talkie
It transmits at 500mW power, which gives a more than sufficient range when travelling in convoy. It uses a frequency range that may be used without getting a permit.

We were there at the end of June, and the weather was great - I drove most of the time in bare feet. First rain we met on the whole trip was at Nordschleiffe, surprise surprise.
The stelvio lived up to expectations..especially finding the tunnel in which the Miura met its sticky end in the Italian job...
Biggest surprise was the herd of cattle in the road at the top..although we managed not to get our cars as Poo'd-up as you, JW.
