Gotthardpass

Simply great. Nice and quiet and dark. Still very busy in early September.

One overnight with stunning scenery by the lake in the mountains. Visitor centre with bars and food stalls. Paid (1 euro) toilet open overnight. Quite busy mid August '25 (no surprise!) but easily found a space and there were plenty more after cafe / visitor centre hours. Traffic from early morning so better to be as far from main road as possible. Some other vans were staying on the old road away from the main road which also looked great.

We loved this. There are no facilities. You really have to be self-sufficient. Beautiful starry sky at night. We took a lovely walk around the lake. Food stalls are expensive, but Switzerland is expensive everywhere if you want to eat or drink, so we even managed to get a raclette sandwich for dessert in the campervan.
