With just two weeks to go until the Giro d'Italia visits the Stelvio Pass, the Italian ski resort is still enduring heavy snowfall.

The Stelvio is used during stage 16 of the 2017 Giro on Tuesday, May 23, and is the highest point visited in the 2017 race at 2,758 metres. As such, it is named as this year's Cima Coppi, with extra mountain points on offer for the rider that crests it first.
