Gotthard fortress and giant crystals
This Swiss Army artillery fortification, that has been kept a secret to the public until recently, lays deep inside the mountain. What was once known as an impregnable fortress and went down in history as ‘Réduit Switzerland’ is today home to the breathtaking Gotthard experience.
Have a look at the most giant crystal group ever found in the alps and visit multimedia exhibits that cover topics such as traffic and the Gotthard myth. Travel underground with our ‘Metro del Sasso’ to visit the famous fortress. There, deep within the mountain, history comes alive as you encounter the gun rooms, ammunition depots and sleeping quarters. A tunnel leads you out to fresh air, where you can enjoy enchanting mountain views from a surprising perspective.
