The section of the Alps that runs through Switzerland is known as the Swiss Alps. This range forms part of the broader Alpine system in Europe and covers a significant portion of southern and central Switzerland, accounting for about 60% of the country’s land area. The Swiss Alps include some of the most famous and dramatic mountain peaks in Europe, such as:
- Matterhorn (4,478 metres) – One of the most iconic peaks, located near Zermatt.
- Eiger (3,967 metres) – Known for its treacherous north face, near Grindelwald.
- Jungfrau (4,158 metres) – Part of the Bernese Alps, along with the Eiger and Mönch.
- Dufourspitze (4,634 metres) – The highest peak in Switzerland, part of the Monte Rosa massif.
Two other integral parts of the Swiss Alps are the Bernese Oberland and the Aletsch Glacier, both offering unique natural beauty and outdoor activities. The Bernese Oberland is a mountainous region in the Bernese Alps, characterized by stunning peaks, picturesque villages, and numerous hiking and skiing opportunities.
On the other hand, The Aletsch Glacier, located in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch region, is the largest glacier in the Alps. It is surrounded by impressive mountain peaks and is a key feature of the Swiss Alps, showcasing the area’s dramatic glacial landscape.
Under the Alps cover lies a major destination for hiking, skiing, mountaineering, and other outdoor activities. The Swiss Alps also encompass various regions like the Bernese Alps, Pennine Alps, and the Graubünden Alps, with breathtaking valleys, glaciers, and lakes.
