There are about 2000 larger and especially smaller glaciers in Switzerland. The glaciers lose about 2.5% of their ice mass every year in the Swiss mountains. In 1850, their glaciers still had twice the ice mass as today. The first person to s By the mid-19th century scientists began to arrive en masse to study the geology and ecology of the region. [143] Another great train line is the one from Andermatt to Disentis. For example the Matterhorn-Gotthard line takes you past countless tunnels, beautiful mountains and great Swiss villages. The highlight is when the train passes the Oberalp Pass with the large Oberalpsee. Unlike the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express, no reservations are necessary here. The three most beautiful hikes in the Swiss AlpsFormation of the Australian Alps was largely complete by around 100 million years ago, but during the past 90 million years, a number of minor uplift episodes have occurred, with occasional eruptions of basalt lava from small volcanoes, which has flowed across the landscape and down some of the valleys, filling in the low-lying areas to form the flat landscapes of these high plains.

In Austria, the Danube runs to the north of the Alps, separating it from the majority of the Bohemian Forest, although some small areas, such as the Dunkelsteiner Wald south of the Wachau, belong geologically to the Bohemian Forest despite being south of the Danube. The Vienna Woods near Vienna forms the north-eastern corner of the Alps, and here the Danube passes at its closest to the Alps (see Viennese Basin).

ISBN 978-88-905158-2-8 The Latin word Alpes could possibly come from the adjective albus [7] ("white"), or could possibly come from the Greek goddess Alphito, whose name is related to alphita, the "white flour"; alphos, a dull white leprosy; and finally the Proto-Indo-European word *albʰós. Similarly, the river god Alpheus is also supposed to derive from the Greek alphos and means whitish. [8] The Alps are usually divided into two main parts, the Western Alps and Eastern Alps, whose division is along the Rhine from Lake Constance to the Splügen Pass. The western ranges occupy the greatest part of Switzerland while the more numerous eastern ranges are much smaller and are all situated in the canton of Graubünden. The latter is part of the Central Eastern Alps, except the Ortler Alps which belong to the Southern Limestone Alps. The Pennine, Bernese and Bernina Range are the highest ranges of the country, they contain respectively 38, 9 and 1 summit over 4000 meters. The lowest range is the Appenzell Alps culminating at 2,500 meters. You can find a free Swiss Alps map here. All you have to do is enter your destination at the top and you can find all the hiking trails. Yellow means easy, red is a mountain trail and blue is an alpine trail for experienced hikers only. Train rides in the Swiss Alps Agassiz studied glacier movement in the 1840s at the Unteraar Glacier where he found the glacier moved 100m (328ft) per year, more rapidly in the middle than at the edges. His work was continued by other scientists and now a permanent laboratory exists inside a glacier under the Jungfraujoch, devoted exclusively to the study of Alpine glaciers. [55]

The Alpine region has a strong cultural identity. The traditional culture of farming, cheesemaking, and woodworking still exists in Alpine villages, although the tourist industry began to grow early in the 20th century and expanded greatly after World War II to become the dominant industry by the end of the century.
