Guex Monument at Gotthard Pass

The Gotthard pass is located at an altitude of 2,106 meters and connects the canton of Ticino in Italian Switzerland with the canton of Uri in German-speaking Switzerland. Historically the San Gottardo pass was important for pilgrims who wanted to reach Rome: this, in fact, was one of the quickest passages to cross the Alps. At the summit there is the Piazza lake and the San Gottardo hospice, founded in 1237 .

There is something very special about arriving at the Gotthard. The atmosphere and joy about the climb and the infamous tremola is unique. Once at the top you can't help but take a picture. Beautiful landscapes, great views and restaurants with many happy and tired cyclists await you. This pass has decent potential for addiction. He's worth every bit of suffering.
