Go via the San Bernadino tunnel instead. It's a much more scenic route and the traffic is lighter. I think google maps makes it half an hour longer, but in reality, because of the traffic, it's quicker.
Are there any insider tips on driving without passing through Gotthard tunnel on weekend???
I know there is a 'local' way, but has anyone use it during peak holiday seasons (like Easter)??
Thanks!
At easter, it's either the Gotthard tunnel, the San Bernardino tunnel, or the Lucomagno pass (either via Chur or Andermatt), as all the other passes will be closed.
