Dry and warm winds which blow along northern slopes of alps 117.222.176.252 (talk) 06:42, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Unrelated to the above, I notice under Alps#Passes the implausible claim "By the early 19th century eight trans-alpine railway lines had been put into operation." Given that this follows accounts of a few passes being put in in the late 1800s (a.k.a. the late 19th century) did someone get mixed up about century numbering – I can believe in eight trans-alpine tunnels by the early 1900s, a.k.a. 20th century – or were the local dwarves building railway tunnels before humans started building railways ? -- Eddy 2A02:FE1:7C:4D00:1A31:BFFF:FE27:3497 (talk) 19:36, 30 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

In the Geography section, the first map has a caption saying 'The Alps extend in an arc from France in the south and west to Slovenia in the east, and from Monaco in the south to Germany in the north.' But the map clearly show the easternmost exten of the alps as being in Austria? Cubingx (talk) 08:22, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Should this be changed? Cubingx (talk) 11:18, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

No. There are reliable definitions of the Alps that extend into Slovenia. See, e.g. Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps. — hike395 (talk) 14:31, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

It is also missing Albania. The largest and most famous part of the Alps is in Albania. It is what the Albs, or Alps were named after. 185.85.154.137 (talk) 19:38, 7 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Why is the Dinaric part of the Alps not listed? It is basically the center of all the Alps! 185.85.154.21 (talk) 08:33, 16 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
