Alps, the Great Mountain range in Europe. It extends from Austria, Slovenia and advances through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein upto Germany and France. The word 'Alps' is considered to have its origin in the words 'albus' (white) or 'altus' (high).

History does not carry the evidence on early I inhabitants of Alps. Some details of the dwellers have of Alpine region have been obtained from the chronicles of Augustus. The Alps was occupied by the Teytonic Tribes in the fifth and the sixth centuries. Alps fall in the temperate zone at low altitude. This leads to higher terrain and consequently, to cold climates. The temperature decreases with altitudes. It also experiences snowfall.

Since, 1948 people here lived a nomadic lifestyle. Now, people are engaged in occupations like rearing cattle, goats, sheep and animals used for traveling. Some people rent out their houses for some extra income. Few people own small restaurants and hotels here. The lifestyle of the people of Alps leaves for their overall improvement.
