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:
“Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
