Suvorov monument, Monument in Schöllenen Gorge, Switzerland.

The Suvorov monument is a memorial cross carved into the rock face of Schöllenen Gorge in Uri canton, near the Devil's Bridge. Its 12-metre cross rises above a wall of light grey stone blocks bearing two gold-lettered Russian inscriptions honouring Suvorov's soldiers who fell in the Alpine crossing of 1799. A downward-pointing sword with a gold hilt and a black-and-white striped scabbard is set into the wall's left side, and a green metal wreath with crossed elements sits above.

On 24 September 1799 Suvorov's army reached the Gotthard Pass after fighting at Airolo and in the Tremola, driving out the French. The next day he forced a passage at the narrows of the Urnerloch and the Devil's Bridge against Claude-Jacques Lecourbe's troops. Learning that the Battle of Zurich was already decided, the army withdrew over several Alpine passes, the highest being the Panixerpass. The memorial cross was inaugurated in September 1898.

The monument's Russian inscription, in bronze letters about half a metre high, honours Suvorov's fallen soldiers rather than the general himself; Swiss neutrality in 1883 only allowed a memorial to the dead. A gilded sword and a green metal wreath with crossed elements mark the rock face. Since 2022 the site has been daubed with paint in protest, and cleaned again.

The monument stands in Schöllenen Gorge near the Devil's Bridge, on the route between Göschenen and Andermatt; the site is reached on foot through the gorge. The rock face and steps below the wall can be wet or snow-covered in colder months, so sturdy footwear and careful steps help.

The land around this monument, spanning roughly 563 square meters, legally belongs to the Russian state through its embassy in Bern while remaining on Swiss soil. This creates an unusual legal arrangement where Russian territory exists within Switzerland's borders.
