Partizione delle Alpi

The Partizione delle Alpi ( German classification of the Alps) is a classification of the mountain ranges of the Alps, which is mainly used in Italian literature, partly in France and Switzerland.

The Partizione uses a tripartite division of the Alps along the Alpine arc, with Alpi Occidentali (Western Alps), Alpi Centrali ( Central Alps ) and Alpi ORIENTALI ( Eastern Alps ).

Basics

The basic classification is based on the three main groups (Italian parti 'part '). These will be divided into 26 sezione (' sections ') and 112 gruppi (' groups ').

  • The Alpi Occidentali, German Western Alps, French Alps Occidentales extend in this Alpine structure from Bocchetta di Altare / Colle di Cadibona that and generally accepted boundary of the Alps and Apennines, to the Col Ferret ( just west of the Great Saint Bernard Pass ) between Aosta Valley Wallis (upper Rhone valley ). The highest peak is Mont Blanc ( Monte Bianco ) ( 4810 m). Aosta Valley - - Valdostani cal Val Ferret - Col Ferret - Valais Val Ferret - eastern end of Lake Geneva in Montreux / Vevey - The boundary between western and central Alpine arc line Ivrea applies Martigny -Ville in the knee of the Valais
  • The Alpi Centrali, German Central Alps, French Alps Central pull from the Col Ferret to the Brenner Pass ( Passo del Brenner ). The highest mountain is Monte Rosa ( 4611 m). The eastern section cut along the line valley of the Adige ( in Verona, Vallagarina, Adige Valley in the narrow sense to Bolzano) - Valley of the Eisack (Eisacktal to Fortezza, Upper Wipptal ) - Brenner - valley of the Sill (Lower Wipptal ) - Innsbruck - Unterinntal to Rosenheim
  • The Alpi Orientali German Eastern Alps, French Alps Orientales draw from the Brenner Pass to Rijeka ( Fiume Italian ), including Istria and Gorski Kotar. The Grossglockner ( 3798 m) is the highest peak in this case.

The term of the Central Alps is not to be confused with the Central Alps in the north-south division of the Eastern Alps.

History and reception

This Alpine division in 1926 on the occasion of the IX. Congresso Italiano Geografico set up and in the work of Nomi e delle grandi limiti parti del Sistema Alpino ( names and boundary of the large parts of the Alps ' system ) published.

The structure comprises the whole of the Alps, and not just those who fall into the territory of Italy. Nevertheless, this classification is focused on Italy because it does not use division, and the organizations that is common in other states, not generally taken into account. She is also considered flawed because it involves areas that are not part of the Alps in the prior research.

As a basic grievances and inconsistencies are mentioned:

  • The inclusion of the Massif des Maures, which do not belong tectonically and geologically to the system of the Alps
  • The Monts de Vaucluse, Montagne de Lure and the Luberonmassiv are not counted in French literature at the foothills of the Dauphiné, Provence but because they are located in this region. In addition, the Provencal Alps also contain, foothills of Digne ' ( Préalpes de Digne ), under the Prealpi di Provenza ( Provencal Alps, Préalpes de Provence) are performed
  • In the Prealpi svizzere ( Swiss Alps) are more northerly areas included that do not belong under the Swiss geographical literature on the Alpine region, but for the Swiss Plateau, as part of the northern foothills of the Alps
  • The Alpi Noriche ( Noric Alps) contain far too vast area in comparison to what groups the Austrian literature are (excessive as they already included the Tux Alps, the entire Tauern, the Alps of Styria and Carinthia in the Noric Alps)
  • The Alpi bavaresi ( Bavarian Alps), the Alpi salisburghesi ( Salzburg Alps ) and the Alpi austriache ( Austrian Alps ) are based on ancient concepts, the concepts are quite different in German-speaking reception
  • For instance the relief karst in the broader sense and Istria in the system of the Alps, which are now counted among the Dinarides

More modern versions of this system can be found in standard works as the Dictionnaire des Alpes encyclopédie ( 2006) and Il Grande Dizionario Enciclopedico delle Alpi (2007).
