Oberhalbstein Range
The Oberhalbstein Alps (Italian: Alpi del Platta) are a mountain range in the Alps of eastern Switzerland and northern Italy. They are considered to be part of the Central Eastern Alps. The Oberhalbstein Alps are separated from the Lepontine Alps in the west by the Splügen Pass; from the Plessur Range in the north by the Albula river valley; from the Albula Alps in the east by the Septimer Pass and the Julia River; from the Bernina Range in the south by the Val Bregaglia.
The Oberhalbstein Alps are drained by the rivers Hinterrhein, Julia, Liro and Mera.
Famous quotes containing the word range:
“For generations, a wide range of shooting in Northern Ireland has provided all sections of the population with a pastime which ... has occupied a great deal of leisure time. Unlike many other countries, the outstanding characteristic of the sport has been that it was not confined to any one class.”
—Northern Irish Tourist Board. quoted in New Statesman (London, Aug. 29, 1969)
