The old Gotthard road through the Val Tremola, with its cobblestone hairpin bends, is a unique piece of Alpine road engineering.

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.
