Planning a trip to the Gotthard line, based in Göschenen, in June, with photos and walking a priority. Does anyone have any suggestions/tips beyond the days I've got tentatively planned below?
1. Walk Schöllenen gorge (Göschenen-Andermatt) and around Andermatt
2. Walk Göschenen to Wassen spirals and up the valley sides
3. Train to Airolo and walk back over the St Gotthard pass old road/footpaths at least as far as Hospental.
4. Train to Bellinzona for the castles
5. Walk Andermatt up the hill and along to Oberalppass.
6. Train to the Biaschina loops and walk round for photos.
Hotel is sorted, ditto travel to and from Switzerland, and languages are no great problem. Also, I've plenty of experience walking (including the excellent rail trail on the RhB at Bergün-Preda).
Just really looking for any tips from people who've already done anything similar.
Thanks in advance.
