Abstract

To a higher degree than the non-Alpine road network, the Alpine road network had to be adapted to topographic conditions. To overcome the natural barrier of the Alps, small and large tunnels have been built. Examples are the Tauern tunnel in Austria, the Gotthard tunnel in Switzerland, and the Fréjus and the Mont Blanc tunnels between France and Italy. Respecting these topographic conditions, the motorway system follows the main valleys of the Alps and connects main Alpine towns and cities. Additionally, secondary roads connect side valleys and their towns and villages with the motorways, forming a dense road network through the Alpine valleys.
