Austria has the most Alps, with 29% of the Alpine region

Austria is a largely mountainous country in south-central Europe. It is landlocked and has many lakes, some of which are shared with neighbouring countries. Austria is at the centre of European traffic between east and west along the Danubian trade route and between north and south through the Alpine passes. This has embedded the country within a variety of political and economic systems.

The Alps are spread across seven countries, 83 regions, and about 6,200 communities. The Swiss Alps are the youngest, highest, and most densely populated mountain range in Europe. They are about 44 million years old.

Liechtenstein is the only country in the world with 100% of its territory in the Alpine region.
