SOIUSA classification

According to SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the Slovene Prealps are an Alpine section, classified in the following way:^[1]

main part = Eastern Alps
major sector = Southern Limestone Alps
section = Slovene Prealps
code = II/C-36

Subdivision

The Slovene Prealps are divided into three non-contiguous subsections:

Western Slovene Prealps (Sl: Zahodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.I

Two of these subsections include just one Alpine supergroup, and the third one is further subdivided in two supergroups:^[2]
