Via Suworow, Historic hiking trail between Airolo and Ilanz, Switzerland
The Via Suworow extends for 40 kilometers through mountain passes and valleys of the Swiss Alps, connecting the towns of Airolo and Ilanz.
During the French Revolutionary Wars in 1799, Russian General Alexander Suvorov led his troops across this Alpine route while retreating from French forces.
The trail passes through traditional Swiss mountain villages where local customs remain strong, with medieval buildings and stone bridges marking the path.
The route splits into multiple segments requiring 4 to 6 hours of walking per day, with hotels and mountain lodges offering accommodation along the way.
At the Devil's Bridge location, visitors can examine historical markers that document the military strategies employed during the challenging mountain crossing.
