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:
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
