Where is Alps?

Are the Alps in France or Switzerland?

The Alps are locatedin Europe. They occupy as many as 8 European countries:

Austria;
France;
Italy;
Germany;
Leiechtenstein;
Munich;
Slovenia;
Switzerland.

They separate Italy from the rest of Europe.

The Alps do not form an isolated mountain system, but together with the Apennines, they form a large S that runs throughout the continental zone of Italy, the peninsular zone and extends to Sicily.

The transition from the Alpine system to the Apennine one is made to coincide, in general, with the Cadibona Pass, more than 400 m high, and located behind Savona.

The reason for this choice lies in the fact that, to find another low pass like this, in the Alps, you must arrive in Venezia Giulia, where the Eastern Gate is located, just over 600 m high. While to find another pass of modest height, in the Apennines, you must arrive in the Umbrian Apennines where we find the Scheggia Pass that reaches just over 570 m.

The chain of the Alps is about 1,300 km long.
