The Alpine countries, sometimes called Alpine nations or Alpine states, are a group of nations taken to be part of either Central Europe along with the Visegrád group or Western Europe. The region takes its name from the Alps, the largest mountain ranges of Europe, stretching from Austria to France and including Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany. All of these nations include portions of the Alps, and because of this are termed the "Alpine countries".

Look between Spain and Portugal...
Also- check out Romania and Bulgaria in Eastern Europe for your other question.
Sounds like a homework question! I would hate to just give you the answer and steal your learning experience from you. =)
