Editing Swiss Alps (section)

===Ranges===
The Alps are usually divided into two main parts, the [[Western Alps]] and [[Eastern Alps]], whose division is along the [[Rhine]] from Lake Constance to the [[Splügen Pass]]. The western ranges occupy the greatest part of Switzerland while the more numerous eastern ranges are much smaller and are all situated in the [[canton of Graubünden]]. The latter is part of the [[Central Eastern Alps]], except the [[Ortler Alps]] which belong to the [[Southern Limestone Alps]]. The [[Pennine Alps|Pennine]], [[Bernese Alps|Bernese]] and [[Bernina Range]] are the highest ranges of the country, they contain respectively 38, 9 and 1 summit over 4000 meters. The lowest range is the [[Appenzell Alps]] culminating at 2,500 meters.
