Excursions 
On the southern side of the 2,100m high Gotthard, the Tremola winds its
way down, hairpin bend after hairpin bend, to the valley below. This
cobbled road is a challenge for all those who dare! Motorbikers
consider this, the most famous of alpine passes, to be the ultimate
experience and hold it in far higher regard than the shorter and more
direct Direttissima north-south route.
Looking for nostalgia? Then take a ride on one of the historic post
coaches from Andermatt to Airolo and enjoy the full glory of the
Tremola, Switzerland's longest architectural monument, in classic
style. Find out more about the legend of the Gotthard and its roads and
rivers in the Hospiz museum on the pass, or - in a more unusual fashion
- in the 4 star hotel La Claustra, deep down in the heart of the
mountain.
The fascination of curves.
