The longest rivers of the Alps.
The easternmost and southernmost alpine mountain above 4,000 m is located in the Dauphine Alps, a wild and unspoilt region in southeastern France. The northern flank of the mountain is covered by the huge "Glacier Blanc", which serves as a route to the summit. Since there are no resorts with groomed slopes in the region, the village of La Grave north of the mountain has developed into a center for freeride and extreme skiing in the Alps.

Comprising small Zinne, great Zinne and western Zinne (from left to right), the Drei Zinnen in the Dolomites of Sesto are a popular destination for climbers. From here, a lot of developments of mountaineering started, for example, the emphasis on sportiness in climbing. A part of their notoriety can unfortunately be traced to the First World War. At that time the area around the Zinnen was fought fiercely. On both sides the Drei Zinnen were staged as a symbol of the mountain warfare.

The Dufourspitze is the highest mountain in Switzerland and is situated in one of the most impressive mountain ranges of the Alps, the Monte Rosa massif. The border with Italy runs about 100 meters east of the summit. The Dufourspitze got its name from Guillaume-Henri Dufour, a Swiss general and cartographer, who in 1845 published the first accurate map of Switzerland.
