St. Gotthard divides Europe: Elevation 2091 m St. Gotthard divides Europe in different cases: Water division The Gotthard moutain formation is also called the continental water divide of Europe. From that the "Rhine" flows down to the North Sea, the "Rhone" flows to the Mediterranean Sea, the "Ticino" flows into the "PO" and in the Adriatic Sea, the "Inn" flows into the "Donau" down to the Black Sea. Weather division Often in Europe (and more locally in Switzerland) we have two different weather conditions. When there is rainy weather north of St. Gotthard, it is then mostly that we have warm and sunny conditions in the south. But it also connects Europe. It is one of the most important passes in the Alps. Because of the tunnels for cars and trains, most of the people at the elevation of 2091 m are tourists now.
