Official guided tours Fort Gondo

28.06. – 25.10.2025

The infantry fortress in the Gondo Gorge played a key role in the defence of the borders during the Second World War. You can visit the fortress on a guided tour.
Today, the Stockalperweg leads through the 350-metre-long connecting tunnel. You can admire the rooms in the bunker with the cannon, soldiers' parlour, troop accommodation, central gallery, officers' room and kitchen on a tour with one of our knowledgeable guides. In the soldiers' parlour, plans, photos, models and objects are used to explain the fortress museum and the history of the military presence on the Simplon.
Did you know that the Simplon Adler was built from the stones that were removed when the fort was blown up? Our guides will tell you more exciting stories of the border occupation at the Simplon.
