Crossing the Alps in Switz­er­land — Gott­hard Pass and Stra­da Alta

from 1.356,- per person

  • Duration: 8 Days
  • Total distance: approx. 88 km
  • Altitude: (+) 2892 m
  • Altitude: (-) 3559 m
  • Difficulty:
The heart of the Alps beats at the Gott­hard Pass. Count­less rivers and springs ori­gi­na­te on this high pla­teau, through which one of Euro­pe’s most important trade rou­tes has run for cen­tu­ries. The hike beg­ins in the Urs­e­ren Val­ley and leads through the wild and roman­tic Schöl­lenen Gor­ge. The path leads stee­p­ly up to the Gott­hard Pass, whe­re the moun­tain flowers still bloom even in sum­mer. The Stra­da Alta, one of Switz­er­lan­d’s most famous high-alti­tu­de trails, then awaits you. The land­scape chan­ges and Medi­ter­ra­ne­an flair slow­ly takes the place of the cool moun­tain air.

Jour­ney to Amsteg
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Amsteg Ander­matt
Distanz: 10 km Höhe (+): 610m Höhe (-): 84m
Today starts with a bus ride from Amsteg to Was­sen. A stage for train freaks: the rou­te runs in part direct­ly along­side the tracks of the now old Gott­hard rail­road line (the long-distance trains speed through the worl­d’s lon­gest rail­road tun­nel under the Gott­hard mountains). 
Ander­matt Gott­hard Pass
Distanz: 13 km Höhe (+): 663m Höhe (-): 10m
The towns of Gösche­nen and Ander­matt play an important role in the histo­ry of Gott­hard traf­fic. In bet­ween is the legen­da­ry Schöl­lenen Gor­ge. The rou­te fol­lows the paving of the venerable mule track to the Pass of Pas­ses. Diver­se, colorful alpi­ne flo­ra. The striking ven­ti­la­ti­on sys­tem of the Gott­hard car tun­nel resem­bles a bandstand. 
Gott­hard Pass — Airolo
Distanz: 7 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 945m
The path mean­ders along­side the famous Tre­mo­la road far down to Airo­lo. The artful­ly con­s­truc­ted hair­pin bends have been immor­ta­li­zed in count­less films. On the way, spec­ta­cu­lar views of the Leven­ti­na with the long ascents and des­cents of the highway. 
Airo­lo — Osco
Distanz: 17 km Höhe (+): 755m Höhe (-): 765m
Deep down in the val­ley, traf­fic is roaring on the high­way, while up on the Stra­da alta the­re is peace and quiet. Magni­fi­cent views of the moun­tain ran­ges of the Leven­ti­na and Val Bedret­to. Bright cha­pels shi­ne in vil­la­ges and valleys. 
Osco — Anzonico
Distanz: 12 km Höhe (+): 525m Höhe (-): 705m
The midd­le sec­tion of the Stra­da alta is con­side­red the most plea­sant and attrac­ti­ve: hard­ly any dif­fe­ren­ces in alti­tu­de, most­ly on a natu­ral sur­face with the peaks of the Leven­ti­na on the right as a con­stant com­pa­n­ion. Cha­pels and churches pro­vi­de con­tem­pla­ti­on and artis­tic enjoyment. 
Anzo­ni­co — Biasca
Distanz: 18 km Höhe (+): 345m Höhe (-): 1050m
The most roman­tic but stee­pest sec­tion of the Stra­da alta. The old mule track leads over huge rocky pul­pits and through a sin­gle chest­nut forest to the uni­que open-air stair­ca­se abo­ve Pol­le­gio. Recom­men­ded jour­ney from Poleg­gio to Bias­ca by public bus. 
Depar­tu­re or extension

Other notes
To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases. Some tours start as ear­ly as mid­day, in which case we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re and will be hap­py to book an extra night for you at the same time. The indi­vi­du­al return jour­ney takes place on the last day of the tour. The kilo­me­ters are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al kilo­me­ters cover­ed. This tour is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with redu­ced mobility. 
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.
Insu­ran­ces
Tra­vel can­cel­la­ti­on insu­rance inclu­ding tra­vel inter­rup­ti­on insu­rance is recom­men­ded in any case. Infor­ma­ti­on can be found at: https://www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/reiseversicherung

No mat­ter how well plan­ned a trip is, in rare cases unex­pec­ted things hap­pen. At such times, it’s nice to have someone you can rely on on site. For this reason, you will have a local cont­act per­son on our indi­vi­du­al acti­vi­ty tours who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as sta­ted in the tra­vel docu­ments, can be cont­ac­ted in an emergency.
