The Gottardo Bike Route combines impressive, high-alpine landscapes with a detailed lesson in Swiss history. The Gotthard Pass has been one of the most important north-south connections for centuries. It also gained military significance during the Second World War. Long stretches of the route were originally military access roads.
The route starts in Andermatt and leads up the Gotthard Pass via Hospetal. The route then climbs towards Lake Sella. Shortly before Lake Sella, a path leads off to the right and up. At the top you can enjoy a fantastic view of the surrounding mountain ranges and down to Airolo. You then tackle the descent down to Airolo on the dirt road.
