Custodian of the Fortress, tour

The Sasso-Special for explorers, freaks and enthusiasts of historical fortresses!
 

These exclusive tours only take place on very few dates. The number of attendees is limited! The “Custodian of the Fortress” tours provide a profound insight into the legendary Gotthard fortress:

​

• Short tour of the exhibits

• Ride with Metro del Sasso

• Guided tour of the historic fortress where you will see behind the curtain 

• Visit of a section of the fortress generally not open to the public

• Exciting visit to the well camouflaged off-site defence fortification

… and because a „Custodian of the Fortress“ tour requires strenuous walks through tunnels, caverns and manholes we provide you with a typical Swiss army emergency ration, of course free of charge.
 

Duration: approx. 4 hrs
