6-748: According to SOIUSA ( International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps ) the Slovene Prealps are an Alpine section, classified in the following way: The Slovene Prealps are divided into three non-contiguous subsections: Two of these subsections include just one Alpine supergroup, and the third one is further subdivided in two supergroups: The chief summits of the Slovene Prealps are: SOIUSA SOIUSA (an acronym for Suddivisione Orografica Internazionale Unificata del Sistema Alpino - English : International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of
12-795: Is an interpretation by Marazzi of the terrain of the Alps aiming to replace the traditional way the Alps were partitioned in Italy, the Partizione delle Alpi , which was adopted in 1926 by the Italian National Geographic Committee ( Comitato Geografico Nazionale ) after the IX Italian Geographic Congress ( Congresso Geografico Italiano ). SOIUSA takes into account the European geographic literature normalizing and standardizing
18-573: The Alps -ISMSA ) is a proposal for a new classification system of the Alps from the geographic and toponomastic point of view. It was designed by Sergio Marazzi , Italian researcher and author of the Orographic Atlas of the Alps SOIUSA . His book was presented with the patronage of the Italian Alpine Club on 23 Jan 2006, but has yet to receive any formal acceptance. The SOIUSA
24-636: The different national classification systems in use. It was publicly presented in a lecture organized by the Italian Alpine Club 's Milan conference of 6 April 2006, following the publication of Marazzi's book. The SOIUSA introduces the bipartition of the Alpine System (Western Alps and Eastern Alps) replacing the old tripartite division (Western Alps, Central Alps and Eastern Alps) by a multilevel pyramidal hierarchy according to identical scales and rules. Mountain groups higher level : fractionated with morphological and altimetric benchmark taking into account
30-548: The four main languages spoken in the Alps ( German , French , Italian , Slovene ) and in English , while lower level groups are just named in the language/languages of the concerned country/countries. Examples: Northern Cottian Alps subsection (STS.4.III ) is also called: Ambin group , located on the French-Italian border, is just referred as: From the line Savona - Bocchetta di Altare - Montezemolo - Mondovì to
36-498: The historical and geographical regions in the Alps. Mountain groups lower level : divided with a benchmark mountaineering. (With some relative sectors (SR) intermediate to groups above) To any alpine mountain can be assigned a SOIUSA code , which shows to what part, sector, section, subsection, supergroup, group and subgroup the mountain belongs. Example: SOIUSA parametres for Pointe Sommeiller ( Fr ) / Punta Sommeiller ( It ) are: Names of higher level groups are given in
