Conquer the Tremola: The Legendary Climb to the Gotthard Pass

The Gotthard Pass marks the final major ascent before riders plunge down into the finish line in Andermatt. But this is no ordinary climb—riders will tackle the iconic Tremola road, a true gem of Swiss cycling heritage.

Winding its way up from Airolo, the Tremola is famous for its 24 dramatic cobbled switchbacks that twist through the alpine landscape like a serpent. Built in the early 19th century and carefully preserved, the Tremola is one of Europe’s best-preserved historic mountain roads. It’s not the steepest climb, but its length, altitude, and cobblestone surface make it a unique challenge – and an unforgettable experience.

In past editions of the Swiss-BikeAdventure, this climb has seen fierce duels and legendary efforts, as riders pushed their limits on the serpentine ascent. The energy, the history, and the sweeping views make this climb a highlight of the event.

This year’s Swiss-BikeAdventure kicks off at sunrise on July 26th in Andermatt. Whether you’re riding to race or just to embrace the challenge, the Tremola is waiting.

Still not registered? Time is running out – registration closes tomorrow, July 18th at midnight. Don’t miss your chance to ride into Swiss cycling legend.

Christos Kalampokas was our 5th finisher

1st of August 2024 exact 19:00 arrived Christos Kalampokas at the little devil in Andermatt. Christos finished the 1400km long route in 5 days and 13 hours.

As surprise his girlfriend waited at the finish for him. The two worked last year at a farm on the Chasseral. That’s where they heard first time about the Swiss-BikeAdventure when riders past in front of the farm. Soon later Christos who works this summer as a bicycle mechanic registered for the this years race.

Congratulations Christos, well done!
