The Alps

This great mountain system of south central Europe extends about 1 200 kms/750 miles from the Mediterranean Sea to Vienna in Austria. Portions of France, Switzerland, Italy, West Germany, Austria and all of Liechtenstein lie within the system. The mountain building aspect of the Alps began some 100 million years ago and it was the first mountain area to be geologically extensively investigated. Many geological terms find their origin in the Alps. Worldwide the name 'Alps' is often used in the nomenclature of other mountain ranges. The Alps are a true mecca for hikers, particularly the famous "Tour du Mont Blanc," the circuit of Western Europe's highest peak, Mont Blanc 4 807 metres/15 771 ft. This is one of the world’s classic treks featuring awe-inspiring scenery.
