The Albula Alps are a mountain range in the Alps of eastern Switzerland. They are considered to be part of the Central Eastern Alps. They are named after the River Albula. The Albula Alps are separated from the Oberhalbstein Alps in the west by the Septimer Pass and the Julia valley; from the Plessur Alps in the north-west by the Landwasser valley; from the Silvretta group in the north-east by the Flüela Pass; from the Bernina Alps in the south-east by the Maloja Pass and the Inn valley (upper Engadin).
The Albula Alps are drained by the Albula, Julia, Landwasser and Inn rivers.
Famous quotes containing the word alps:
“Th’ increasing prospect tires our wand’ring eyes.
Hills peep o’er hills, and Alps on Alps arise!
A perfect Judge will read each work of Wit
With the same spirit that its author writ:
Survey the Whole, nor seek slight faults to find
Where nature moves, and rapture warms the mind;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
