    One of the most special trail sections I've ever ridden. The drive through the Gondo fort is impressive and definitely worth the trip!

      Fort Gondo was built entirely into the mountain during World War II. The fortress can be reached from above via a long tunnel that can be used by bike. It served to defend the strategically important Simplon Pass against attackers from the south. Coming from Gondo, one climbs a steep path and stairs to the fort. From below only loopholes and a cannon are visible.

        It is a once secret fortress, which was of strategic importance in the Gondo Gorge. The construction of this barrier began a hundred years ago. Today the Stockalperweg leads through the area where our ancestors did their service for the fatherland. The premises with all the facilities and technical facilities for quartering the troops can be visited today under a guided tour
