Pennine Alps
The Pennine Alps are a range of the western Alps along the border between Switzerland and Italy, between the Great St Bernard Pass and the Simplon Pass. They include many of the highest peaks of the Alps, among them Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn. In the early Middle Ages they formed the south-eastern limit of the Kingdom of Upper Burgundy, whose passes linked it with Italy.
