The Alps, Europe's majestic mountain range, are not only a haven for nature lovers but also a canvas for stunning outdoor sculptures. Among the most famous is the *Lion Monument* in Lucerne, Switzerland, a poignant tribute to Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution. Carved into a rock face, this masterpiece by Bertel Thorvaldsen is a must-see.
Another iconic piece is the *Golden Eagle* in Sölden, Austria, a towering steel sculpture by artist Christian Hitsch. Perched at 3,000 meters, it symbolizes freedom and the rugged beauty of the Alps. Meanwhile, France’s *Vanoise Express* station features modern art installations that blend seamlessly with the mountainous landscape.
In Italy, the *Cadini del Brenta* area hosts surreal metal sculptures that contrast sharply with the Dolomites' sharp peaks. These works, part of the *Arte Sella* project, celebrate the harmony between art and nature.
Each sculpture tells a unique story, transforming the Alps into an open-air gallery that captivates travelers and art enthusiasts alike.
