"Sasso San Gottardo Fortress"
The fortress, one of the largest underground defense systems in Switzerland, operated as a top-secret military facility until 2001. Today, visitors have the opportunity to explore the extensive tunnels and experience a touch of history. The underground funicular "Metro del Sasso" takes visitors to the historic fortress, where gun rooms, ammunition depots, accommodations, and command centers are concealed. One of the mysterious passages leads to an exit in a rock face and to the viewing platform, which offers an impressive panorama.
Goethe, General Guisan, and the Gotthard Myth. Two figures contributed significantly to the Gotthard myth: the poet laureate Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and General Henri Guisan. Goethe traveled the Gotthard three times, was inspired by the majestic mountain landscape, and collected numerous rock and mineral samples for his geological studies. The Sasso San Gottardo houses the first nationwide permanent exhibition on Goethe's Gotthard journeys. It demonstrates Goethe's fascination with this place and the significance of his research into the Tell legend for Swiss history.
In the historic fortress, a permanent exhibition offers insights into the life and work of Henri Guisan, Switzerland's last general. As Commander-in-Chief of the Swiss Army during World War II, he established the famous Reduit strategy, which focused on the numerous fortifications in the Alpine region, including the Gotthard Fortress. The Tell legend, once made famous by Goethe and his friend Schiller, became an important element of the nation's intellectual defense during the construction of the fortifications.

With good shoes you can get up here relatively quickly. Entrance to an old bunker. Outside you can see how the pass and the complex were defended.
