Here are photo`s of the Alps. Taken from the Aircraft window when travelling to Italy. If its a clear day the views from the airplane are stunning . The Alps are a range of mountains in Europe caused by uplift in the European Plate as it is impacted by the African Palte moving north; they stretch from Italy through France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, and into the former Yugoslav republic of Slovenia.
The highest peaks in Western Europe (outside of the Caucasus mts.) are located in the Alps. The Mont Blanc (4810 meters), Dufourspitze (4634 meters) and world famous Matterhorn (4478 meters) are just three of the 82 official alpine four-thousanders.
