Val Tremola The Old Gotthard Pass

Aerial footage of the Old Gotthard Pass, also known as Val Tremola, in Switzerland.

[@tangatoto362]

Fabulous.... I drove over this in 1978 in a Leyland camper van... expecting it to explode at any moment, but it amazed us by chugging up the thousands of feet in the cold .... an amazing bit of engineering, especially some of the hairpin bends that were supported in mid air by a pylon anchored to the side of the mountain lower down...

[@madeline2439]

I also went on a coach trip from the uk to lake Como in 1963 and my mum insisted we sit at the very front of the coach. The coach was too big to go round those bends so the driver would pull forward so the coach appeared to be hanging in mid air over the edge and then back up so he could get the coach round the bend it was scary but also great fun to remember. Thank you bring back such great memories.

Lago di Como is my fav place to be in Italy, I hope you did visit Varenna, its like a fairy tale world... a must see. And yes the Gotthardtunnel and pass in Swiss is great to do :)

[@stickystuffshytot]

To reply to some of the comments... All footage was shot with a single DJI Phantom 3 Advanced, on a single battery, so around 20 minutes of flight time. The actual ride was done downhill and then a return back up, but it made more sense when editing to swap this around, as the majority of the interesting footage was of the uphill run. Music is rights-free. I'd have loved to have stuck something a little more recognisable on there, but didn't want to go upsetting any apple carts. Most footage is straight form the drone, some small edits to nullify jerky controls and a couple of dolly zooms in places to highlight the sheer scale of the scenery, then just simple colour adjustments and the Marmite vignette. Thanks for all the nice comments folks.

Pretty interesting footage, very good use of drone.

[@mjordan812]

One of my favorite stretches of road. I ride it every chance that I get. I like both the history and the fact that I almost always have it all to myself. A great Thank You to the crews that keep it in repair - it is a LOT of work.

[@mototourchannel6429]

Drone's view is amazing . The old Gotthard Passs is spectacular too. i'd like to go to ride on the pass the future .

[@enzominuzzo9995]

Bellissimo ,il prossimo anno ci vado sarà un emozione indimenticabile.

[@RickLincoln]

I'm coming at this late...in 2020. The video is so well done and the drone footage is breathtaking. My only suggestion to improve this would be to include the rider going through the turns instead of just accelerating out of them. This is a really common thread in mountain motorcycling videos and for riders who are still determining how to ride in this kind of terrain, like myself, it would be so helpful to see more experienced riders as they approach, execute and exit a turn in twisties like this.

[@hansbauer5337]

Very nice video, the overview ist outstanding, the best i have ever seen. My respect !!! Best regards

[@fabiopunk1661]

Beautiful images. Congratulations. I rode this a few times in the past with my Moto Guzzi

[@francescociaccia3107]

Sono stato tanti anni in Svizzera a San Gallo facendo sempre il San Bernardino non ho fatto mai questo Passo. Magnifico

A masterpiece of road building.

[@kiwisunshine9631]

Wow, that was amazing! I thought the music was very fitting:-) Thanks so mcuh!

[@Arvinis1]

Beautiful place I really enjoyed watching it. Awesome video.

[@windymatheo]

Was this the one I drove over the Alps in 2007...scared the living heck outta me without guard rails around the curves , it felt like the car would simply fly off into the sky. I remember putting down the sun visor... don't know why that helped..maybe so I didn't see the sky. I gripped that steering wheel the whole way over. Wow..what a memory. I was terrorized in such beautiful landscape.

[@ReinySRoadtrips]

eine Traumstrasse, steht auch schon auf unserer Liste ab 2022

[@theowestermann6742]

bin 1973 den Tremolo von Airolo nach Andermatt gefahren, aber abends spät und wusste nicht, dass die Strecke gesperrt war. In Airolo waren keine Schilder sichtbar. Nach den Wegweisern war es der kürzeste Weg nach Andermatt. Jedoch zur Zeit war Mannöver beim Schweizer Militär und die hatten vergessen, die Straße zu sperren. Also : Tremolo hoch und alle 300 Meter in eine MG-Mündung per Autoscheinwerfer geschaut. Rechts und links Militärzelte, aber alles blieb ruhig und friedlich. Nur als wir endlich die Passhöhe erreicht hatten, schlug die Wirtin im Kiosk die Hände über dem Kopf zusammen und dankte dem Himmel, dass wir die Strecke schadlos überstanden hätten. Soweit meine Erinnerungen an den Tremola Pass............. trotzdem war es wunderschön! denke heute noch daran !! Theo aus Bad Sassendorf

[@2Wheel4Fun]

I've taken the Gotthard pass and the old, I found both to be amazing and looking forward to the Alps again this year. Great video.

I still have my denim cut off I used to wear over my leather jacket when I rode in the 80s - the logo on the back was a skull and crossbones with the words 'LET THOSE WHO RIDE DECIDE'. Great days.

[@robessenstam]

a wunderful ride with the motorcycle..

[@Dragon64646]

Hi Sticky Stuff. If you like to ride your bike, I recommend you to go in Summer from Geneva by Wallis the two Pass Furka and Oberalp in Direction Ilanz (Graubünden). But you need several hours.. It's amazing. This route is also possible with the train. You will see, what our former people were able to build at that time. You will never forget this ride. And in top of every Pass, you can eat and drink in the restaurant and buy some souvenirs. But don't drink too much alcohol, you need concentration.. If you fall down the street, you may wait a little bit for the doctor. The next hospital is sometimes miles away.. Drive carefully and enjoi🏍️😜. You may find any information in the Internet. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@lukathegarlic]

This is awesome video + editing. The road itself, well, I drove it a few times this year, it is the most fun road I have driven to date.

I visited this scenic region in 1970; and , after driving by coach from Zurich, I had the thrill of riding in a cable car “Back “to earth” ! ..or so it seemed!

[@swissmotorbiketours3619]

and for sure riding that ike a Yorkshireman, nice drone work thats for sure, might need to have a chat about how that was done and by who

[@jimcrad]

All very nice but the "Ancienne Route" over the cobbles is best on a push bike

[@pascalnemecek1502]

Top vidéo ! 🇨🇵

[@who9387]

That's some road there - presumably it's closed for 4-5 months a year

[@Landolini]

Who ? More like 6-8 months depending on the season

[@Doodlyscott]

I suspect that running that road a few times would be exciting but I could see it becoming fuckin ponderous after awhile.

[@woitis]

Sad how many tourists with rental vehicles head for the tunnel. They don't know what they've missed.

[@santoshspvk]

Wow. amazing video

[@patsymillar9447]

We revealed on the got hard pass on an ulsterbus tour. We weren't meant To go over the pass, we were suppose to go through th tunnel, but it had been closed because of an accident, so used the pass instead. It was hairy to say the least.. it we good to see it again on tis video.

[@LuBiBochum]

Sehr geil 👍👍👍👍

Hope to ride it soon.

is the old Gotthard pass Close after the new Road open ? i really want to ride there next year .

[@RBEmerson]

Damn! Lifting the front on those cobbles? And I thought I was good bringing a K1600GT down from the pass. Great video work. Info on how it was done, pls

[@briannorwood6719]

Been there. Done that. 2002 with Admo-Tours.com. 15 days. 3550 miles.

Terrific editing. I'm curious about something? Did you employ more than one drone, or did you employ multiple runs up the climb?

[@clivenuttall1316]

1 drone 1 run. Top editing from Sticky.

[@ivanjulian2532]

@@clivenuttall1316 well then, that makes this video even MORE impressive!

Loved it

[@Wolfdog370]

Great footage .. but never been a fan of chasing hair pins .. much prefer a series of undulating sweeping esses .. but that's just me

[@stickystuffshytot]

The beauty of this region is you can find roads to suit all tastes. Just over the hill from here is the road down to Andermatt, which is as fast and sweeping as you could ever wish for

[@paolabrazzola4658]

Questa è la vecchia strada del passo del Gottardo non è la val tremola

Oh wie geil! Da will ich fahren! :-D
