 Bavarian Alps, Germany
The Bavarian Alps, with their foreland, extend south from Munich to the Austrian frontier and from Lake Constance in the west to the neighborhood of Salzburg in the east.
The foreland consists of a high plateau with numerous lakes, sloping down to the north from some 700m/2,300ft at the foot of the mountains to around 500m/1,640ft and slashed by valleys ranging in depth from 50m/165ft to 200m/650ft.
On a larger scale are the Allgäu Alps, where the retreat of the forests has revealed more clearly the variety of form of the mountains, and the limestone masses of the Berchtesgaden Alps (National Park), whose plateaus (Untersberg and Steinernes Meer) are a paradise for hill walkers.

The highest peak in the Alps is Mont Blanc at 4810 meters on the French-Italian border.
Equivalent summer time sports such as Mountain Biking and Whitewater Kayaking are becoming increasingly popular, and the Alps have always been popular as a mountaineering and hiking destination, but clearly this is nowhere near as lucrative for the locals, as the tourist invasion during the winter season.
