The
Swiss Plateau or
Central Plateau (; ; ) constitutes one of the three major landscapes in
Switzerland alongside the
Jura Mountains and the
Swiss Alps. It covers about 30% of the Swiss surface. It comprises the regions between the Jura and the Alps, partly flat but mostly hilly, and lies at an average height between 400 and 700 m
AMSL. It is by far the most densely populated region of Switzerland, and the most important with respect to economy and transportation.
