Description
57km or about 20 minutes by train separate travelers thanks to the Gotthard Base Tunnel between the north and south of Switzerland. However, it is more interesting to cover this distance at hiking speed above the tunnel.
Because over 2448 meters of altitude and about 100 kilometers of distance, a mountain world of extraordinary appeal opens up. You enjoy the diverse mountain nature between the northern and southern sides of the Alps. Immerse yourself in the hosting culture of the Uri region, the Grisons, and Ticino. You also experience moments when you are exactly above the tunnel—albeit 2000 meters higher up.
