You make it look easy matey .We were stopping in Andermatt so on a day out got to top where you started where old and new pass meet I said to my may oh great back on tarmac my mate got his map out no theres another couple of K's down otherside so we had to do that as well.I think if you stay in Andermatt you can take horse carriage ride up that side from Andermatt its the Old swiss post horses and carriages .In 2011 we stayed in a barn on a straw bed old swiss tradition "Shlaf im stroh" they call it which is sleep on straw was a bit of a laugh but stank as horses were kept below he did carriage rides in the summer we were in the loft cheap tho by swiss standards £15 with breakfast which was a painted egg Swiss cheese and fresh bread and coffee Ill add a photo if I can find one .

Looks ok, hotels in Switzerland aren't cheap are they?
MotoGuzzi Norge 1200GT. for Euro touring
Triumph Street Triple. For those hooligan moments......
Beta Alp 200. For falling off In muddy bits.
I suffer from C.D.O. It's like O.C.D. but all the letters are in the correct order, just as they should be.

Problem was toilet down stairs and in a morning horses thought you had come to feed them and started slobbering at the mouth LOL toilets were basic portaloos but had an extractor fan so as light went on it drew smell away and was a decent shower wash basins ect and nice pineclad breakfast room .It may have gone now as they were building a hotel and golf course complex and he was where golf course was going to be .Hotel Aurora is good they do a half board biker deal food is good and has indoor secure parking also right next to campsite if your in a group where some want to camp some want a room also has its own petrol station we stayed there in 2009

That Sail track seems to be on every Youtube video watch at the moment 
I really need to get my arse in to gear and sort out my videos, should be able to sync several with Marks, I think I had my helmet cam on following him down Tremola
Shame I haven't got a photo of the top of Tremola the day before that video though, couldn't see 10 feet in front of you!

Thats route I did in 2011 on my yamaha tmax 500 scooter great rear shots shows how steep and tight it is .Brought it all back I followed a bus up and thought this is going to be easy but slow he blocked every hairpin to traffic coming down then he waved me past and was on me own 
.Theres a great youth hostel in Merano really modern clean with ensuite rooms for 1 2 3 4 people more like a hotel you just have to make and strip your bed right in the town nice buffet breakfast was only 22 euro per person when we went
