ViaSuworow
From Gotthardpass to Andermatt

Walserweg Gottardo - Etappe 10
The route descends from the Gotthard Pass — a historic crossroads of northern and southern Europe — along the old cobbled pass road past dammed lakes, wind turbines, and high-voltage lines before dropping through Hospental and following the Reuss river alongside the expansive golf course of the Swiss Alps Resort into Andermatt. Along the way, the National Gotthard Museum and the historic hospice mark the storied pass summit.

Furka-Höhenweg
The Furka-Höhenweg traces the stony south-eastern slopes above the Urseren Valley, with views down to Realp and Hospental, the pass road, and the historic Furka steam railway threading the valley below. Along the way, tiny alpine lakes, mountain streams, jagged cliffs, and bellflowers — including the yellow bellflower (*Campanula thy…*) — punctuate terrain that passes within sight of the Rhone Glacier and the Belle Époque Hotel Belvédère, made famous by the Bond film *Goldfinger*.

Trans Swiss Trail

Along the way, the striking ventilation plant of the Gotthard road tunnel rises like a music pavilion, and the pass head holds a museum dedicated to the era of the post-coach.
