Switzerland

Switzerland’s topography is defined by a striking vertical and structural contrast across three main regions: the Alps, the Central Plateau (Mittelland), and the Jura Mountains. The Swiss Alps, covering about 60% of the country in the south and east, dominate the landscape with 48 peaks above 4,000 m, including the Dufourspitze at 4,634 m, and glaciated valleys shaped by ancient ice. In the northwest, the Jura Mountains form folded limestone ridges between roughly 800 m and 1,600 m, while the central Mittelland offers rolling hills, fertile plains, and large lakes at more moderate elevations of 400–700 m, where most of the population resides. The nation’s lowest point at Lake Maggiore (193 m) underscores the immense vertical range that influences climate, rivers like the Rhine and Rhône, and diverse land use, transitioning from permanent snow and jagged rock in the high Alps to pastoral meadows and deep lake basins in lower valleys.
