TUNNEL DU SAINT-GOTHARD

The longest railway tunnel in the world! This project is pharaonic: imagine the longest tunnel in the world (57 km) and the most buried: it is dug under 2300 meters of rock! A real hole in the earth's crust! By burying itself and crossing the massif from which the Rhine and Rhone rivers flow, the Gotthard tunnel has changed the map of European road transport. It links the German-speaking cantons of Uri (Erstfeld) and Ticino (Bodio). The first high-speed train tests were carried out at the end of November 2016.
