PENNINE ALPS: CHAPTER SUMMARY

Location

Although the range of the Pennine Alps is usually described as extending from the Col du Grand St Bernard to the Simplon Pass, for the purposes of this book we take its western limit to be the Petit Col Ferret on the Swiss-Italian border on the very edge of the Mont Blanc massif. The Rhône valley forms its northern limit, the alpine watershed which carries the frontier with Italy marks its southern extent.
