Central St Gotthard Massif, Leventina, Ticino (Tessin), Switzerland

(Massiccio del San Gottardo, Leventina, Ticino (Tessin), Svizzera (Schweiz; Suisse))

On Mindat, this descriptor denotes the area around the St Gotthard pass. In a geological sense, the St Gotthard massif encompasses the area from the Nufenen pass (Novena pass) in the west to the southern side valleys of the Tujetsch (Tavetsch) in the east. Hence, many of the localities in the upper Wallis, in northern Ticino (on the north slopes of the Bedretto valley and in the valleys northeast of the upper Leventina), and in western Grischun are actually situated in the St Gotthard massif. Though, this is not explicitly noted, except in some locality descriptions.
