Grandes Rousses, Mercantour, Mont Blanc, Pelvoux, Belledonne, Aar and Gotthard massifs.
These are then divided by valleys and by a gneiss zone to the south, which includes the Maritime, Cottian, Graian, Valais and Ticino Alps, and a limestone zone to the north and west, including the Provençal Pre-Alps, Bernese, Glarner, Dauphinéer and Savoy Alps fall, separated.

Countries in which parts of the Western Alps are located:

  • France, highest mountain is Mont Blanc
  • Italy, the highest mountain is also Mont Blanc, but not the actual summit region that belongs to France
  • Switzerland, the highest mountain is the Dufourspitze in the Monte Rosa floor of the Valais Alps
