Swiss Alps, Mountain range in Switzerland.
The Swiss Alps extend across 60% of Switzerland's territory, containing 48 peaks above 4000 meters, including the Dufourspitze at 4634 meters.
The region north of Saint Gotthard Pass became instrumental in establishing the Swiss Confederacy during the early 14th century through mountain transit routes.
Each region of the Swiss Alps maintains distinct linguistic traditions, with German, French, Italian, and Romansh communities preserving their local customs and architecture.
The mountain range features numerous ski resorts across Valais, Bernese Oberland, and Graubünden, with winter sports seasons operating from November through May.
The glaciers of the Swiss Alps cover 1220 square kilometers, representing 44% of all glaciated areas within the Alpine mountain system.
