Before you go

High and exposed, and snow can hang on into June. Much quieter than the Furka and Grimsel.

Which way round

Ulrichen to Airolo, then back over the Gotthard and Furka for a full loop.

When it’s open

Usually open Jun to Oct. Opening depends on the snow, so check the status before you go.
