The Gotthard Pass divides the waters and connects different cultural and linguistic areas. Its importance as an "Alpine transversal" began at the beginning of the 13th century with the construction of the legendary Devil's Bridge in the Schöllenen Gorge. For many centuries, trade caravans (in exchange of cattle and cheese for grain, wine, rice and salt), rice runners, dispatch runners and even whole armies crossed the pass.
Between 1818 and 1836, the canton of Uri, with the help of other cantons, extended the pass road, which also gave it supremacy among the Swiss Alpine crossings. The Gotthard pass has had a decisive influence on the economy and culture in Central Switzerland for centuries. Until the opening of the Gotthard Railway in 1882, the Gotthard Pass was also used in winter. Dozens of path and shovel servants were employed for this purpose.
In 1922, the post bus replaced the stagecoach and with the introduction of gasoline duties in 1923, the expansion of the pass roads began until today. The old pass road on the south side, the Tremola between the top of the pass and Airolo is still preserved and passable. This stretch of road is reminiscent of more tranquil journeys over the Gotthard, not so long ago. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Gotthard Pass was "condensed" into a myth, a symbol of Switzerland's independence, unity and identity.
