Gotthard Base Tunnel Tour
Gotthard Base Tunnel is the longest railway tunnel in the world, measuring 57km in length! The Gotthard Base Tunnel Tour is a guided tour that takes about 2 hours. It offers a unique opportunity to tour inside this tunnel, learn about the history of this majestic construction project and see the trains whizzing past through the tunnel window.
The visiting tour is available from Wednesdays to Saturdays, 9.30am and 1.30pm. Priced at CHF 26 per person.
English guided tour is available upon request. We’d requested for English tour but due to the majority of the participants speak German (and there were only three of us who couldn’t understand German), the tour was conducted in German. However, our guide tried his best to explain to us in English too.
