Three Peaks challenges in Luxembourg

The landscapes of Luxembourg

Luxembourg's northern uplands contrast with the more open rolling country of the south. Valleys cut into the higher ground, giving this small inland country a landscape of ridges, wooded slopes and local highpoints rather than an alpine mountain system.

The northern Oesling belongs to the Ardennes uplands, where river valleys cut into higher ground. Southern Gutland has a softer rolling landscape, including the country's principal settled areas. The Sûre and its tributaries help define these regional contrasts, with wooded slopes and valley sides often more visually distinctive than isolated summits.
