Eleven kilometers and 900 meters of elevation gain lead to the pass height at 2,436 m above sea level. This is followed by a long descent into Goms, ideal for a short break, as the 13 km climb to the Nufenen Pass (2,478 m above sea level), the second highest paved pass in Switzerland, starts afterwards. After a fast descent into the Italian-speaking Airolo, the final climb to the Gotthard Pass (2,091 m above sea level) begins. The route initially follows the main road towards the pass height before you can switch to the historic Tremola at the fork – a real highlight with cobblestones and alpine scenery. Once at the top, only the descent back to Andermatt awaits." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3102879/26e6c27715aa0f652191c140c5dcdb5e78f838bba23f18eb225a0b99f507dcc5/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Welcome to Lucerne > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share The Starter Triple: Furka - Nufenen - Gotthard ============================================== - Tip - 105.89 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: difficult - Condition: very difficult - Great panorama - racing bike Furka, Nufenen and Gotthard – with cobblestones, glacier views, and over 3,000 m of elevation gain, a high delight for ambitious road cyclists.
