    Tips

    The Piottino Gorge is traversed by the Ticino River and separates the Alta Leventina from the Media Leventina with a height difference of around 150 meters.
    The gorge has always been a major obstacle on Gotthard Street because it is very narrow and surrounded by high rocks. A mule track through the gorge did not run until the end of the 14th century. The Gotthard Railway Company built the two spiral tunnels Freggio and Prato to overcome the difference in height caused by the Piottino Gorge.
