The old Gotthard road through the Val Tremola, with its cobblestone hairpin bends, is a unique piece of Alpine road engineering. Be sure to take the uphill route, as the cobblestones are minimal, and you can enjoy the ride to the fullest. The downhill route is less recommended for narrow racing tires, so you can easily take the new route – provided there's enough light for the long tunnel immediately after the top of the pass.

The Tremola Pass road is an absolute must for every cycling enthusiast. An impressive monument of architectural art. I would never have thought the cobblestones would be in such good condition that you could ride up there on a racing bike without any problems. Simply fantastic.

VERY IMPORTANT TIP: If you want to drive the Tremola (or in general the Gotthard up), you have to take the right turn down in Airolo. There are two (TWO!) Roads up to the Gotthard! The "Gotthard Pass" (green sign), which you should not drive, because on this road there is a lot of traffic MASSIV. I was there last Sunday, when I wanted to get 5-6 vehicles per minute, that's way too dangerous on a winding road, because they drive you dead. If there are 20km of traffic in front of the tunnel, many will drive over the pass (endless motorcade!). The "Gotthard Pass" from Airolo is something like a freeway with a highway character, sometimes even two lanes in one direction and the cars racing upwards at 80 to 100 km / h. Properly you do it like this: Search here on Komoot in zoom the "via San Gottardo", which meanders parallel to the Gotthard Pass up the mountain (this is the old Gotthard road). There is almost no traffic. Directly from Airolo you drive through the green meadows in a zigzag, is immaculately tarred. And then after 5 or 6 turns you come to the "via San Gottardo". There you turn 5-6 turns up, until at some point the turnoff to "Tremola", the old cobbled street comes. So you come without much traffic on the Gotthard.
