About Gotthard Pass
The Gotthard Pass (2106 m) is one of the most historic crossings of the Alps. From Airolo in Ticino the road winds up to the summit with its hospice and small lakes. On the southern side, next to the new road, there is the old cobbled Tremola.
In rampida you ride the route exactly as it lies on the road: the gradient reaches your trainer metre by metre, the scenery is built from real elevation data and OpenStreetMap. A pacer group can pull you along, and next time you race your own ghost.
