I removed this section because it was non-encyclopedic (use of 2nd person pronoun). The recommendation is really more suitable for WikiTravel. It's not clear also whether the intent of "strict restrictions" is to mean laws or practical restrictions.

OK, I'll agree with the style not being quite right. But this is useful information and should be recorded. I can't remember the details of the restrictions (I was in a car, so was unaffected), but yes, they are legal (certainly no lorries, probably no camper vans either). jodastephen 11:55, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Practicalities

The Gavia Pass is one of Europe's highest and most remote road passes. If you just want to get from Bormio to Ponte di Legno then you should probably go via Aprica. Much of the pass is single track, and as such there are strict restrictions on allowed vehicle type. Realistically, only cars or smaller can attempt the pass.
