Title: Saint Gotthard pass, European Alps road, connection between Andermatt and Airolo in Ticino
Headings: St. Gotthardpass

Content: After the first street tunnel was built in the seventies through the Gotthard, which quickly became one of the most busy traffic South tangents, the Gotthard is drilled again. The transalpine route is built. A gigantic tunnel work with several starting points. It is worth to take a stop at the individual stations, turn off the motorbike and sift the facts and billboards in the exhibition buildings. A gigantic project created by humans, which still will take another few years for the construction. Most motorbike riders, once over in the south, turn in Airolo either to the right on to the Nufenen pass road or continue on the motorway towards Bellinzona. Unfortunately they then miss an important piece of the old Gotthard road. The old road runs parallel to the motorway and rail down to Biasca, where you can then easily turn left to Lukmanier pass. ( Exit GPS N46°21'38" E008°57'22"). Well, in additon, parallel to the old pass road, there is the newer one, that does not play a big role any more since the tunnel is open.
