Peak ascents
Alps
The Alps (German Alpen, French Alpes, Romansh Alps, Italian Alpi, Slovenian Alpe) are vast European mountains. The name “Alps” resp. French and Latin name “Alpes” probably comes from Latin word “albus” (white) or “altus” (high). Another possible explanation is the Celtic term “alp” that denotes high mountains.
The Alps are only found on the European continent, but there are three more Alps. The Australian Alps, New Zealand Alps, Japanese Alps. The Europe’s entire mountain range stretches from 130 to 260 kilometers wide and around 1200 kilometers long, across seven countries total from the French Riviera and the Mediterranean coast in the southwest to Vienna in the east. It occupies an area of about 180 000 km². The river Rhine on the Swiss-Austrian and Swiss-Liechtenstein border and the approximate connection between Liechtenstein and the Italian city of Como draw the boundary between two basic subunits: the Western and Eastern Alps.
