The Alps are a range of mountains in Europe caused by uplift in the European Plate as it is impacted by the African Plate moving north; they stretch from Italy through France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, and into Slovenia. The highest peaks in Europe (outside of the Caucasus mountains) are located in the Alps. Mont Blanc (4810 meters), Dufourspitze (4634 meters) and the world famous Matterhorn (4478 meters) are official and well known alpine four-thousanders. Many areas of the Alps are covered by eternal snow and ice.
This is curious state of affairs, and it is not 100% clear which country is sovereign in a small patch of snow at the very apex of the Alps. This web site takes the Italian view, and lists Mont Blanc as the highest point in both France and Italy.
