Driving the Tremola San Gottardo, Switzerland

- Driving the Tremola Saint Gothard Pass. There's multiple ways to get up the St. Gotthard Pass, and in this video I drive up the "old" road, laid with cobblestones, named the Via Tremola. It's mainly open for road enthusiasts, because there's also a smoother asphalted road you can take to the top.
It definitely tests your suspension, but the cobblestones are laid quite well. Most people take the new road up, so you'll have the road all for yourself!
The video starts in Airolo, and ends in Hospental. The Via Tremola road starts at 8:00.

That Via Tremola is a superb masterpiece of engineering of the 19th century, rightly called a "monument road"! Thank you very much for taking me with you on it!
Ich kann Deine Gedanken fühlen; im Jahre 1973 bin ich diese Strecke von Süd nach Nord zwischen 20 und 22 Uhr gefahren. Wir kamen von Italien und wollten zurück nach Deutschland. In Airolo 2 Schilder: Andermatt 22 Km; Andermatt 16 Km.! Entschieden für den kürzeren Weg; ohne zu wissen, woher es jetzt geht.
Hatte keine Angst vor Serpentinen, aber an jeder 3. Kehre Schweizer Militär kam mir doch schon komisch vor. Die "Jung´s" hatten Manöver , wohnten in Zelten und rannten mit MP´s durch die Gegend.....! Aber meine Fahrt ging weiter. Oben, am Pass angekommen, hörte ich dann, dass diese Strecke schon seit einigen Jahren für den zivilen Verkehr gesperrt sei und ich froh seien sollte, die Passhöhe ohne Problem erreicht zu haben. Nun denn.! War ne tolle Fahrt !!!!!!
Splendide vidéo qui donne bien le vertige que l'on peut avoir à grimper de tels cols en Suisse !
Reminds me of my 2002 walking / hitch hiking trip basically your drive in reverse. Walked Up from Andermatt to the pass on a Wednesday, mountain stuff on Thursday and walked down via Treomola on Friday then hitched the Nufenen and Grimsel passes To Meiringen
The scenery is stunning. I've had the pleasure of visiting Switzerland and flying over the Swiss Alps.
Route fantastique et paysage sublime... et un lac saphir tout en haut ! Merci.
Schöne Strecke, ein Wahnsinn was die Straßenbauer damals geleistet haben, niemand, absolut niemand, kann diese Straße heute noch mit den damaligen Mitteln bauen. Alleine das Kopfsteinpflaster über diese Strecke, das verlegt heute niemand mehr.
So amazing to a flat lander like me 😍
Love that city! Can't wait to return!
St. Gotthard Pass, mountain pass in the Lepontine Alps of southern Switzerland, an important motor and railway route between central Europe and Italy.
Very pretty road 🥰
Nice 🤗
linda paizagem
Heaven 🦋💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Makes you wonder how long it took them to lay all those cobbles???.... A Barmaid in Chamonix once told me the problem with living in the Alps, is that you don`t get much sun in the valley`s, but the Skiing is good :-)))
Looks like a great place to drive, especially if the car you're in has plenty of git in its gitty-up.
Don't blink you'll miss it...zoom!
I drove the "modern" road when I was there a few years back, I wish I had known about the Tremola road!
As a fellow Model 3 owner, I would be interested to see the statistics on your energy usage on this drive (and your many others that I've watched.) I'd also be interested in hearing your charging strategy - are the superchargers placed well enough to allow you to not need to worry much about charging? Here in the USA if you go off of the main highways (especially into the mountains) you may be too far from a supercharger and you need to plan to find destination chargers to be able to go further.
I don't have detailed statistics but can give you my experience:
The charging infrastructure in Europe is developing fast, and I think it's currently doable to drive in most of Europe with a Tesla Model 3 (LR/Performance). Fast chargers can generally be found every 250km or so in remote areas. Besides Tesla's supercharger network, Ionity has a big 350kWh charging network in Europe, which works great. More and more other fast charging locations are being built. Depending on where I'm driving, I can comfortably plan to charge every 150-200km (driving Autobahn 100km/h - max km/h) or 250-300km (driving at most 100 km/h in mountainous areas). It's the high speed that has a large impact on range. On my daily commute (mostly highway) I'm looking at an average of 220Wh/km. The regenerative braking works surprisingly good in mountainous areas. I've had the navigation tell me I would be unable to reach my destination when driving uphill (range decreasing about 3-5 times faster than expected), but once reaching the top and letting it roll downhill, managed to regain quite some range, making the average consumption on these trips around 160Wh/km. All in all, it sometimes takes planning to drive an electric car in remote areas in Europe, but it's doable.
When I first got the Tesla (my first electric car), I went on an unplanned trip and learned a lot about charging infrastructure the hard way. In Europe, charging infrastructure is maintained by different providers, and each requires signing up. Sometimes I could pay by credit card, but often I could not. After that trip, I ordered a few charging cards which gave me access to most of the European charging infrastructure. Also, the Model 3 came with a 1-phase UMC which charges using house plugs, and the blue plug which you find at many campsites (I believe max charge speed is 23km/h or so). On several occasions, I came across the red plug (3-phase, max charge speed 70km/h). After some internet research, it turned out the Model S and X come with 3-phase UMCs, and the Model 3 can use that too but comes with a 1-phase UMC. So I bought a second hand UMC from a Model S driver and now I can charge using the red 3-phase power socket too, which helped me out several times already :-)
@@RoadtripThroughTheLens I forgot that Europe has a good charging network that isn't Tesla - that certainly helps! Since US Teslas don't have CCS, that network here (which is slowly being built out) is unavailable to us. We keep hoping that Tesla will offer a CCS adapter to allow us to use those chargers, but who knows if they will ever offer that.
I've been enjoying your videos, I look forward to being able to return to Europe to drive some more of those great roads (even if it's just in a rented ICE car.) I've driven quite a few of the roads in Switzerland and northern Italy, they are truly spectacular. For now, I have to be content with the roads here in the USA, which aren't quite as nice. Although a couple of months ago, I drove the Beartooth Highway which was quite amazing. I made a video of that one: th-cam.com/video/kxKiS-zBYn0/w-d-xo.html
Keep up the great work! I still have many hours of your videos to watch...

Isso no Brasil, só no sul.
É lindo demais =D
اما نور ززى
Unbelievably beautiful and magnificent feat of engineering- mad how quiet the old route is? Is it normally this devoid of traffic? Not a car or bus in sight
I've only been there once so can't tell the usual circumstances, but I guess you have to enjoy hairpin roads and know about the road to find it
They mostly use the road tunnel which goes under the mountain mass.
What a shame going up there by car ! I went up the Tremola all the way up from Biasca by bicycle. Nice and perfectly quiet. Only thing You get to hear is Your own breath ! Sorry to say.....
But so a Street must be drive with a Petrol Engine not with a Electric Vacuum Cleaner
