TREMOLA ROAD
Length (km): 27.3
Duration: 50
Maximum height (m a.s.l.): 2106
Winter closure: Yes
Departure: Airolo
Finish: Andermatt
Major places crossed: Tremola Road, Sasso San Gottardo, Hosental

Among the motorcycle routes in Switzerland, there is one that even more than the others can be called iconic: it is the Tremola Road, the most beautiful serpentine road in the Alps.

It is not just a road, but a true “road monument,” spanning a length of just four kilometers, but with a height difference of 300 meters and the incredible number of twenty-four hairpin bends. A record that is not even recent: in fact, the Tremola Road was built as many as two centuries ago!

The Tremola Road can be considered a symbol of nineteenth-century engineering, almost a masterpiece given the availability of means at the time. Its construction was made possible thanks to the design of Francesco Meschini, an engineer from Canton Ticino.
