Context of Alpes

Os Alpes (alemán: Alpen; italiano: Alpi; francés: Alpes; grego: Αλπεις; occitano: Aups/Alps; romanés: Alps; eslovaco. Alpe) son o sistema de montañas máis altas e estensas situadas totalmente en Europa. Exténdense dende Francia ó oeste ata Austria e Eslovenia ó leste, e dende Alemaña o norte ata Italia e Mónaco no sur así mesmo tamén atravesa a meirande parte de Suíza e Liechtenstein. O seu pico máis alto é o Mont Blanc con 4.810,45 metros de altitude, situado na fronteira franco-italiana ou moi preto dela, xa que a masiva demarcación da fronteira nunca foi consensuada. Os Alpes forman unha barreira de 1 200 quilómetros entre o Mediterráneo e o Danubio

Debido á súa importancia de abastecemento dos caudais de ríos importantes europeos, como o Po ou o Rin, regando ricas terras de cultivo, ó seu redor situáronse desde a prehistoria diversos pobos, principalmente celtas como os borgoñóns, leucos, longobardos, helvecios e posteriormente, xermánicos no noroeste ou pobos itálicos logo da conquista da Gallia Cisalpina por Xulio César.

Hai unha organización especial para a protección dos Alpes chamado o Convenio dos Alpes.
