Airolo

Highlight • Settlement

Airolo is known as the portal to the south, because this is where the rail and road tunnels flow into the Leventina Valley. The small village is located at 1,141 meters and offers some places to stay and stop for a break. Both the Trans Swiss Trail and the Via Gottardo pass here.

February 17, 2025, Wanderung 17.02.2025 Entlang des Val Canaria - Rundtour von Airolo 🙋‍♂️🥾🌞❄️⛄😊

Since the weather forecast for Airolo was for 10 hours 🌞, we decided to drive there with the 🚂 yesterday evening. When we got there, we were greeted by 🌞 and ❄️ 👍🤣. From there we went on a beautiful, but also somewhat strenuous tour, which we really enjoyed in the perfect weather. Greetings from the 🚂🙋‍♂️😊
