St. Gotthard Pass The Gotthard Pass divides waterways and connects various cultural and linguistic areas. Its significance as an "Alpine transversal" began at the beginning of the 13th century with the construction of the legendary Devil's Bridge in the Schöllenen Gorge. For many centuries, trade caravans (trading cattle and cheese for grain, wine, rice, and salt), mercenaries, messengers, and even entire armies crossed the pass. Between 1818 and 1836, the canton of Uri, with the help of other cantons, expanded the pass road, thus achieving its predominance among Swiss Alpine passes. The Gotthard Pass has significantly shaped the economy and culture of Central Switzerland for centuries. Until the opening of the Gotthard Railway in 1882, the Gotthard Pass was also used in winter. Dozens of roadmen and shovel workers were employed for this purpose. In 1922, the post bus replaced the stagecoach, and with the introduction of gasoline duties in 1923, the expansion of the pass roads began, continuing to this day. The old pass road on the south side, the Tremola between the top of the pass and Airolo, is still preserved and passable. This stretch of road recalls more tranquil journeys over the Gotthard that occurred not so long ago. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Gotthard Pass was "condensed" into a myth, a symbol of Switzerland's independence, unity, and identity.

Descent to Lucomagno done on Gravel (45mm tires, only got off the bike a couple of times)

An almost magical lake ... a dream to photograph from above early in the morning

After the pass opens in early summer, it becomes a hotspot for various tours - most of which head towards Fibbia and Lucendro.

In summer, arrival by post bus from Andermatt or Airolo is possible.

A must-see for every road cyclist! Featuring arguably the most famous cobblestone road in the Alps...

The Passo del Sole is located between the Valle di Santa Maria (the upper Val di Blenio) and the upper Val Piora (where Lake Ritom is located. From here you can enjoy a beautiful panorama and the fresh Alpine breeze.
