Before you go
Cobbled hairpins: slow, historic and beautiful. Slippery when wet on a bike.
Which way round
Uphill from Airolo; the cobbles are easier to judge going up.
When it’s open
Usually open Jun to Oct. Opening depends on the snow, so check the status before you go.
The route
- Airolo
- Gotthard summit
- Hospental
