Gotthard group, Mountain range in central Switzerland.

The Gotthard Massif extends across four cantons, featuring peaks reaching 3,192 meters and connecting major European watersheds through its natural passes.

The Gotthard region gained significance in the 13th century when the mountain pass became a primary route for trade between northern and southern Europe.

The mountain range shapes Swiss identity as a central geographical feature, influencing transportation networks and connecting different linguistic regions of the country.

Visitors access the area through multiple mountain passes including Furka, Oberalp, and Lukmanier, with railway connections available through several tunnels.

The massif forms the source of four major European rivers: the Rhine, Reuss, Ticino, and Rhône, which flow toward different seas.
