    12.8 km · +120 m

    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.

    34.2 km · +2376 m

    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

    12.9 km · +1248 m

    这条路线沿着一条通往哥达德山口的古老骡道铺装路面延伸,早在13世纪,骡夫们便经由此道运输货物。沿途,哥达德公路隧道醒目的通风设施宛如一座音乐亭拔地而起,而山口顶端设有一座专门记录驿马车时代的博物馆。

    This stage of the Trans Swiss Trail follows the paving of an old mule track to the Gotthard Pass — a route that muleteers have used since the 13th century — passing the striking ventilation plant of the Gotthard road tunnel and a vast variety of colourful Alpine flora. At the pass head, a museum dedicated to the post-coach era marks the end of one of the most historically important Alpine crossings in Switzerland.
