Acheter Train Simulator: Gotthardbahn Alpine Classic: Erstfeld – Bellinzona Route Add-On PC

Explore the historic Gotthardbahn route in Train Simulator, spanning 110km from Erstfeld at 472 meters altitude to Bellinzona at 241 meters near the Italian border. This simulation captures the second-highest standard railway in Switzerland, built from 1872-1882 with the 15km Gotthard Tunnel piercing the Alps at 1,151 meters. Long ramps and spirals handle extreme elevation changes, delivering diverse operations like local passenger runs, inter-city services, and freight hauls powered by Re 460 locomotives and EWIV coaches. Drive challenging scenarios including a Re 460 tutorial, freight services from Bodio to Faido, and seasonal IC runs through stunning Alpine bends. Key features cover SBB signaling with animated elements, Integra Signum safety, over 60 custom buildings, and detailed Re 460 with wing mirrors plus EWIV passenger views. Railfans enjoy two dedicated modes at Biaschina and Wassen, perfect for simulation enthusiasts mastering authentic Swiss rail duties.

Famed Alpine rails await you in Rivet Games’ classic Gotthardbahn route for Train Simulator!

The Gotthardbahn, the second highest standard railway in Switzerland, was constructed from 1872-1882, penetrating the Alps by means of the Gotthard Tunnel at 1,151 metres (3,776 ft) above sea level. At the time, the 15km Gotthard rail tunnel was the world’s longest.

Rivet Games have meticulously modelled 110km of the Gotthard route from Erstfeld, on the North side of the Alps, at an altitude of 472 metres (1,549 ft), South to Bellinzona near the Italian border at an altitude of 241 metres (791 ft) set before the newer Gotthard Base Tunnel was completed. Because of the extreme differences in altitude long ramped approaches are used on each side, together with multiple spirals tunnelled under the mountains.

Operations on the Gotthardbahn are challenging and diverse, ranging from local to inter-city passenger services, and key freight duties that keep industries alive. Many are headed by SBB’s fleet of sleek Re 460 locomotives, cab car variants of their EWIV coaches also take charge with a 460 pushing from behind.

With vast changes in altitude offering unique views around every bend, the classic pass that is the Gotthardbahn is world renowned, and you can explore it in all its scenic glamour in Train Simulator!
