Sending a specialist crew to the second Gotthard road tunnel? Tell us your crew size, dates and portal and we will source long-stay housing around Göschenen, Andermatt and Altdorf on the north side or Airolo and Faido on the south.
We arrange accommodation for contractors in Göschenen on a project basis, priced for the length of the stay rather than a nightly rate.
The Swiss Federal Roads Office is building a second tube for the A2 Gotthard road tunnel, with installation sites at Göschenen in Uri and Airolo in Ticino. The budget is CHF 2.14bn. Two tunnel boring machines are working from opposite ends. Alessandra, from the north, reached the fault zone cavern in April 2026 after about 14 months of boring. Paulina, from the south, was stopped by difficult geology in June 2024 and restarted in 2026, with full face boring expected from about September.
The second tube is due to open in 2030, after which the first tube will be refurbished and both open from 2033. Ticino press estimated the accumulated delay at six to eight months in May 2026. The project has its own staff housing in both villages, the Breiti building in Göschenen and the former Hotel Alpina in Airolo, so outside demand comes mainly from specialist subcontractors and short notice crews, who base in Andermatt and Altdorf to the north and Faido and Biasca to the south.
We source long-stay accommodation for subcontractor teams with confirmed work at either portal, matched to the site you work from rather than a generic Lucerne or Lugano search.
We assess practical locations across Göschenen, Andermatt and Airolo based on your actual site access, commute, crew size, parking and accommodation standards rather than a generic city search.
We can source for specialist rotations, staggered arrivals, multi-month assignments and extensions as packages move through the programme, subject to live availability.
We look for accommodation with kitchens, laundry, reliable WiFi, parking and suitable bedroom configurations for sustained assignments.
