The Alpine region of Switzerland, conventionally referred to as the Swiss Alps represents a major natural feature of the country and is, along with the Swiss Plateau and the Swiss portion of the Jura Mountains, one of its three main physiographic regions. The Swiss Alps extend over both the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps, encompassing an area sometimes called Central Alps. While the northern ranges from the Bernese Alps to the Appenzell Alps are entirely in Switzerland, the southern ranges from the Mont Blanc massif to the Bernina massif are shared with other countries such as France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein.
The Swiss Alps
A group of mountain ranges is called a mountain range system or a mountain chain.
A group of adjacent mountain ranges is called a mountain range system.
Mountain ranges in parallel chains are called "cordilleras."
There are several major mountain ranges in Europe. The first one that comes to mind are the magnificent Swiss Alps. Other mountain ranges include the Pyrenees and the mountain range that is said to separate Europe from Asia, the Urals.
West Virginaia has 306 mountain ranges and many argue that it should be called the mountain state.
Cordillera
A group of mountain ranges side by side is called a mountain range system or a mountain chain. This occurs when multiple mountain ranges run parallel to each other in close proximity.
Parallel mountain ranges are called "ranges" or "ridges." Examples include the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains in North America.

It takes tens of millions of years for mountain ranges to mature and move inland. The Swiss Alps would be quite a few million years old
