The Alpine region of Switzerland, traditionally called the Swiss Alps (German: Schweizer Alpen, French: Alpes suisses, Italian: Alpi svizzere, Romansh: Alps svizras), is the main natural feature of the country and, along with the Swiss Plateau and the Swiss part of the Jura Mountains, is one of its three main physical and geographical areas. The Swiss Alps extend both to the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps, encompassing a territory sometimes called the Central Alps. Although the northern ranges from the Bernese Alps to the Appenzell Alps are entirely in Switzerland, the southern ranges from the Mont Blanc massif to the Bernina massif are shared with other countries such as France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein.

The Swiss Alps include almost all of the highest mountains of the Alps, such as Dufurspitze (4634 m), House (4545 m), Liskamm (4,527 m), Weisshorn (4,506 m) and Matterhorn (4,478 m). Other following major summits can be found on this list of Swiss mountains.

Since the Middle Ages, transit through the Alps has played an important role in history. The region north of the St. Gotthard Pass became the core of the Swiss Confederation in the early 14th century.

Geography:
The Swiss Alps seen from the Swiss Jura in December 2010
The Alps occupy 65% ​​of Switzerland’s total area of ​​41,285 square meters. Km (15,940 sq. Miles), which makes it one of the most alpine countries. Despite the fact that Switzerland covers only 14% of the total area of ​​192,753 square kilometers (74,422 sq. Miles) in the Alps, [2] [3] 48 of 82 Alpine four-thousanders are located in the Swiss Alps and almost all of the the remaining 34 are within 20 kilometers (12 miles) of the countrys border.

The Swiss Alps are located south of the Swiss plateau and north of the national border. The border between the Alps and the plateau runs from Vevey on the shores of Lake Geneva to Rorschach on the shores of Lake Constance, passing near the cities of Tuna and Lucerne. Not very clearly defined regions in Switzerland, located on the outskirts of the Alps, especially the northern ones, are called the Swiss Prealps (Préalpes in French, Voralpen in German, Prealpi in Italian). The Swiss Prealps are mostly made of limestone and usually do not exceed 2,500 meters (8,200 feet).

The Alps are usually divided into two main parts: the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps, whose division extends along the Rhine from Lake Constance to the Slyugen Pass. The western ranges occupy most of Switzerland, while the more numerous eastern ranges are much smaller and are located in the canton of Graubünden. The latter is part of the Central-Eastern Alps, with the exception of the Ortler Alps, which belong to the Southern limestone Alps. The Penninsky, Bernese and Berninsky ranges are the highest ridges of the country, they contain 38, 9 and 1 peaks respectively more than 4000 meters high. The lowest range is the Appenzell Alps, reaching heights of 2500 meters.

Rivers:

The northern part of the Swiss Alps is drained by the Rhone, Rhine and Inn (which is part of the Danube basin), while the southern side is mainly drained by Ticino (Po basin). The rivers in the north flow into the Mediterranean, North and Black Seas, and in the south into the Po Adriatic Sea. The main triple watersheds in the Alps are located inland, these are: Piz Lunghin, Witenwasserenstock and Monte Forcola. Between Witenwasserenstock and Piz Lunghin lies the European watershed dividing the Atlantic basin (North Sea) and the Mediterranean Sea (Adriatic and Black Seas). The European watershed lies only partially on the main chain. Switzerland has 6% of the fresh water in Europe, and is sometimes called the «water tower of Europe.»
