Here is a site who explains it in detail.
Especially the fights in the Alp mountains were extreme, the front often was only some meters from each other and run over mountain tops. The soldiers dug tunnels, filled them with ammunition and blowed the mountain tops away. More soldiers died in avalanches and by the cold than under enemy fire. Huge tunnel systems were dugged into glaciers and some soldiers lived there for years.
When you hike in the Alp mountais today you still find the trenches, metal pieces and other stuff from the war. Now thet the glaciers are melting away dead soldiers are freed from the ice.

A good source of informatin would be Erwin Rommel's "Infanterie Greift An" (Infanty attacks) where he was a platoon commander fighting against the Italians in the Austro-Italian alps.

Just like France there were no battles. It doesn't count as a battle when you drop your rifle without ever firing it.
