The Passo dello Stelvio (Italian: Passo dello Stelvio; German: Stilfser Joch), located in Italy, at 2757 m (9045 feet) is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps, slightly below the Col de l'Iseran (2770 m, 9088 feet). The Cîme de la Bonette (2802m, 9192 feet) is not a proper pass but merely a loop with start and end only metres apart at the Col de la Bonette (2715 m).
