Spectacular rides in Swiss alps around the Gotthard Pass
Another bunch of great rides in the central Alps. Just hop on your bike in front of the hostel and you can choose a variety of different high alpine passes. This time we did Andermatt - Furka - Grimsel - Furka Andermatt and next day a mellow ride from Basecamp Andermatt to Disentis over the Oberalp pass. Had a Burger at the Nangiala Hostel and rode back.
3 Passes. Furka, Nufenen and Gotthard
120km and 3200m Vertical. Great ride, on of the must-be-done!
Here is a link for the map and vertical profile...
Sunny weather on the southside of the Alps is a good reason to take the 30min drive to Airolo from Basecamp Andermatt. Over the Gothard pass and away from the trafficjam in the tunnel.
The route of the day was:
Basecamp Andermatt goes climbing at the Mövenpick. This is not the famous hotel but a roadside restaurant next to the highway after the Gotthard tunnel towards Bellinzona.
Lodge and Hostel BC Andermatt switched from roadbike to MTB. We rode up towards Furka. At Tiefenbach took a right towards Tätsch and had a really nice downhill from here all the way to Realp.
Roadbiking between Lago Lugano and Lago Maggiore
Basecamp Andermatt goes roadbiking. We started in Lugano at the waterside next to the Miniature Switzerland Park. Its a good place to park the car. From here we biked first southbound around the beautifull Lake Lugano past Morcote and Agno. Always following the shoreline of Lake lugano we arrived at Ponte Tresa.
