Motto Bartola-Ospizio San Gottardo
The trail climbs from the old military fortress of Motto Bartola (1528 m) through the Val Tremola to the Ospizio San Gottardo (2090 m), passing through one of the most strategically important fortified zones south of the Gotthard — defensive installations decommissioned only in 1998 and now partly converted into the Museo Sasso del San Gottardo. Much of the route follows ancient mule tracks (Säumerpfade) where the competing worlds of hikers, military history, and alpine farming visibly collide.
