The question makes it appear that General Suvorov crossed only one Swiss mountain pass with his army during the Swiss campaign of 1799. He crossed in fact four: The St. Gotthard, the Chinzig, the Pragel and finally the formidable Panixer. Some of his troops, that is those that were dispatched to threaten the French army's rear north of the Gotthard, had to cross even one more pass. Instead of the St. Gotthard they crossed the Lukmanier pass und then one more, the Oberalp east of Andermatt.

Which mountain range offered the most protection from outside invaders?

The Alps. Hannibal broke through famously, but no other mountain range can really lay claim to the number of armies that the Alps deflected. The Himalaya have probably never been crossed by an invading force (am I wrong?), but the Alps most likely protected more cultures. The Alps.
