The Gotthard is a mountain range in the Swiss Alps, known for its stunning landscapes and historical significance. It serves as a natural divide between northern and southern Switzerland and is home to the famous Gotthard Pass, which has been a crucial trade route for centuries. The region is also notable for the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the world's longest railway tunnel, which enhances transportation efficiency across the Alps. This tunnel, completed in 2016, significantly reduces travel time and promotes economic connectivity between Switzerland and its neighboring countries.
