Swiss Alps

Mountains

The Swiss Alps are a region of Switzerland, the main natural attraction of the country. Together with the Swiss Plateau and the Swiss part of the Jurassic Mountains, they are one of its three main physiogeographical regions. The Alps are usually divided into two main parts, the Western Alps and Eastern Alps, whose division is along the Rhine from Lake Constance to the Splügen Pass. The western ranges occupy the greatest part of Switzerland while the more numerous eastern ranges are much smaller and are all situated in the canton of Graubünden.
