Alps: Mont Blanc
built 635 days ago
The Alps are a mountain system located in south-central Europe, to the immediate north of the Mediterranean Sea. They extend for almost 700 miles in a crescent shape from the coastline of southern France (near Monaco) into Switzerland, then through northern Italy and into Austria, and down through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro - then ending in Albania on the rugged coastline of the Adriatic Sea.

ALPS is an association of 22 outdoor community pools located primarily in the West Island of Montreal. Celebrating its 50th year in 2007, this organization coordinates communication and friendly competition among the member clubs in the disciplines of competitive swimming, water-polo, synchronized swimming and diving.

Simultaneously, more spectacular railroad tunnels were being started through the Alps. The first of these, the Mont Cenis Tunnel (... known as Fréjus), required 14 years (1857–71) to complete its 8.5-mile length.
