Voralpenland referred to in the regional geography, the areas around the - cultural, climatic or economic - alpine embossed core zone of the Alps , to the extent they are not to the offshore Limestone Alps , the northern and western mountain ranges or the plains of Pannonia and the Po belong.

In its most frequent application, the term refers unspecifically to the northern foothills of the Alps, especially to the areas between the wide arc from Lake Geneva to Lake Constance and the Danube to Linz .

From a general point of view, the terms Alpine foothills and Alpine foothills are approximately the same. The term "Voralpenland" is only used cautiously in the specialist literature because it does not stand out against some more specific terms:

• generally the foothills of the Alps , outdated Lower Alps as the foothills of the Alps, the subalpine mountain ranges on the edge of the Alps, and the valley plains in between, opposite the flat to gently undulating Alpine foothills, partly criss-crossed by old moraines, which extends to the Danube
  • the Swiss Pre-Alps region
  • the northern foothills of the Alps as part of the northern alps , i.e. the limestone foothills as an opposite subdivision to the high limestone Alps in the northern limestone Alps , together with the flysch zone , and some other rocky zones
  • the Bavarian Prealps as a mountain group, compared to the mountain areas in Swabia, Bavaria and Salzburg , which generally belong to the Northern Alps and upstream the Kalkhochalpen
  • the Salzburgian foothills that one of the Salzkammergut mountains expects, compared to the pre-alpine area of the northern Flachgau , who is also the Salzburgische Lakeland involves
  • the Upper Austrian foothills of the Alps , which includes the mountain range of the Upper Austrian foothills of the Alps , the areas between the Kalkalpen and Hausruck , which are only partially within the northern Salzkammergut , as well as some deep valley openings
  • the Lower Austrian Pre-Alps from the Eisenwurzen to the Vienna Woods
  • the south-eastern edge of the Alps , namely the eastern edge mountains , Lavanttal Alps , East Styrian hill country , Pohorje (Bacher Mountains, geologically part of the Central Alps )
  • the southern or Italian pre-Alps (ital. prealpi ) as the southernmost mountain ranges of the southern Alps and the Italian western Alps
  • the French Prealps (fr. préalpes ), which consists of the Savoy Prealps , the Dauphiné Prealps and the Provencal Prealps , stretching from the Rhone Valley to the Mediterranean.
