The Alps - Les Alpes - Die Alpen - Le Alpi - Ingeborg Pils

The Alps, the wild heart of Europe, an area full of contrasts: breathtaking peaks and deep ravines; rugged cliffs and sloping hills; barren expanses of ice at high altitude and green, blossoming mountain meadows; raging torrents and quiet, romantic mountain lakes. It is a spectacle of nature and a fascinating ecosystem, but also a cultural landscape shaped by people and touristic myth.
