are the swiss alps in germany

No, the Swiss Alps are not in Germany. They are located in Switzerland, a country located in Western-Central Europe. While the Alps mountain range does extend into parts of Germany, such as the Bavarian Alps and the Allgäu Alps, the Swiss Alps specifically refer to the portion of the Alps that lie within Switzerland.

Switzerland is home to some of the most iconic and highest peaks in the Alps, including the Eiger, Jungfrau, and Matterhorn. The Swiss Alps stretch across southern Switzerland and cover a significant portion of the country’s territory.

Germany, on the other hand, has its own share of the Alps, but they are generally lower in elevation and not as extensive as the Swiss Alps. The German Alps are primarily located in the state of Bavaria, near the Austrian border.
