St Gothard - Over Or Under?

[blueST]

Will be travelling from Lucerne to Umbria on the 30th August. Its a long day behind the wheel and I'm trying to decide if I have time to go over the St Gothard pass.

Is it correct I would leave the motorway at Wassen and Rejoin at Airolo? If so the sat nav reckons 36mins over the pass which seems remarkably quick. But means I could spare the time no problem. Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot see Göschnen on my map. As the motorway approaches the tunnel (southbound) Erstfeld, Silenen and Wassen appear to be the last 3 junctions.

In your experience, how long does it take to get over the pass?

I have been able to find Göschenen on my Sat Nav, it's very small and my map is not detailed. It does look like there is an exit there. I shall certainly go over the pass, should have enough time.

Thank You.

(Will be travelling over it the following weekend.)

In which case, over the to it is. I feel shame at considering the tunnel.

I may pass you going the opposite way, heading back up from Umbria to the South of France on the 6th.
