Alpine regions

Alpine regions refer to mountainous areas, particularly those above the tree line, where conditions are colder and harsher. They often feature high peaks, steep slopes, and unique ecosystems with hardy plants and animals adapted to the environment. These regions are commonly found in mountain ranges like the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas. The climate is characterized by cool temperatures and significant snow cover in winter. Alpine areas are popular for outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, and mountaineering, and they play a crucial role in water supply and biodiversity conservation.
