The Alps (German: Alpen; French: Alpes; Italian: Alpi; Slovenian: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word “Alps” was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning “the Alps”), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high), or a Celtic word.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc at 4,808 m on the French-Italian border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.

Stayed three weeks in the Swiss village of Kandersteg. Hiked all over in the Alps. The area we were in is called the Bernese Oberland and I cannot imagine a more beautiful place.
