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.
