The Long Triple: Oberalp – Lukmanier – Gotthard

If you want to have a sample of my mood this morning, listen to this: https://youtu.be/2ZiAx3bn5M8?feature=shared 😂🤸‍♀️☀️ I started early to enjoy the morning mistery of the mountains and the still quiet road to Gotthardpass. I was very surprised with the number of campers, vans, and other vehicles, as well as tents standing along the old road to the pass... The cobblestones ensured a good portion of shaking, especially while descending towards Airolo. The Tremola road is purely AMAZING! I always admire and respect the engineers who designed such roads 🤩 In Biasca, it was so hot that I didn't even feel like drinking coffee! That's an outrage!! Then I followed route number 36 towards Lukmanier Pass, which is for several kilometres independent from the main road, very quiet, narrow, and picturesque 🤩 Lukmanier is charming. It's worth being there at least once. The downhill is a blast!

Weather forecast promising much sun, available room in my fav place, and holiday on Monday were so convincing that I haven't even tried to resist 😁😁😁 The only one question arised: Which way as all are already done? 🤣 The only novelty would be... yessss! Tremola uphill 🩷🩷🩷 And the bonus intro 😁 I loved the clouds wrapping the lush green meadows in Medel Valley, the waterfalls gushing from the mountains after yesterday's rain, the empty roads, the sounds of nature, the dew drops on the grass and flowers, the misty air bluring the silhouettes of the mountains... Then, I loved the cobblestones leading to Gotthardpass, the awesome hairpins cutting into the steep slopes, the monumental walls of the surrounding mountains. 🩷 In this way, I crossed the Alps twice and did the 5th longest climb in Switzerland from Biasca to Gotthardpass: 51 km 🤩 Thinking about right and wrong, I've come to the conclusion that the most important thing is to be honest. The rest will follow 🩷
