The Gottardo Bike route combines spectacular high-altitude landscapes with a great lesson in Swiss history. The San Gottardo Pass has been one of the main north-south transit axes for centuries. The underground is a labyrinth of bunkers, a testimony to its military role during the Second World War; various sections of the route are old army access roads.
The contrast with Val Piora further south could not be greater: here nature reigns. The pleasant plateau with its two alpine lakes lies in a harsh high mountain environment. Lake Cadagno also boasts a phenomenon unique in Europe – the failure of surface waters to mix with deeper waters – and is known to scientists worldwide.
The descent into the Valle di Blenio runs almost entirely on the old Lukmanier road. In the Middle Ages, until the rise of the Gotthard, the Lukmanier Pass was the main north-south connection. Sparsely frequented, it is one of the most beautiful Alpine passes in Switzerland. The stretch to Olivone passes through wide larch forests, very green plateaus, dense fir woods, and is considered one of the most beautiful in Alto Ticino.
An impressive conquest of the main chain of the Alps from Andermatt to Biasca in the Ticino. The Gottardo-Bike route holds the world-famous Gotthardpass, the lonely Piora high plain and the sunny Blenio Valley.
The Gottardo-Bike route combines impressive, high-Alpine landscapes with a detailed lesson in Swiss history. The Gotthardpass has for centuries been one of the most important north-south links and also achieved military significance in World War II. The area is laced with subterranean bunkers, planned to offer refuge in an emergency. Extensive stretches of the route were originally military access roads.
The contrast to the Piora plain further south could not be greater. Here the focus is on nature. The peaceful plain with its two mountain lakes nestles in a rugged high-Alpine landscape. The Lago di Cadagno is actually world-famous among scientists, because there is no seasonal mixing of surface water, unique in Europe.
The descent into Blenio Valley mainly follows the old route of the Lukmanier road. In medieval times the Passo del Lucomagno was the most important north-south link until the development of the Gotthard region. Largely unknown, it is one of the most scenic Alpine passes in Switzerland. The route to Olivone leads through open larch groves, over lush green plains, through dense pine forests and counts as one of the most beautiful tours in north Ticino.
Careful route planning is the key to enjoying a route. Check weather and trail conditions in advance at local information centers. Depending on the season and weather conditions, the route may be closed or interrupted.
