'''The Alps''' are a substantial mountain range extending across much of central [[Europe]] from [[France]] (Maritime Alps), through [[Switzerland]], northern [[Italy]] (including [[Dolomites]]), southern [[Germany]] (Bavarian Alps), [[Liechtenstein]] and [[Austria]], as far as the [[Balkans]] (Dinaric Alps) and [[Romania]] (Transylvanian Alps).
    
The highest peak in the Alps is Mont Blanc (15,774 feet), on the France-Italy border. Other notable Alpine mountains include the Matterhorn, Eiger, Jungfrau and Großglockner. A number of small [[glacier]]s remain in the Alps but are shrinking rapidly. The Alps also contain several of the world's deepest [[cave]] systems.
