Albula Alps
The Albula Alps[1] is a mountain range in the Alps of eastern Switzerland. It is considered to be part of the Central Eastern Alps. It is named after the River Albula. The Albula range is separated from the Oberhalbstein Range in the west by the Septimer Pass and the Julia valley; from the Plessur Range in the north-west by the Landwasser valley; from the Silvretta group in the north-east by the Flüela Pass; from the Bernina Alps in the south-east by the Maloja Pass and the Inn valley (upper Engadin).
The Albula Alps are drained by the Albula, Julia, Landwasser and Inn rivers.
