### SOIUSA classification

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

* Western Slovene Prealps (Sl: Zahodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.I
* Eastern Slovene Prealps (Sl: Vzhodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.II
* Northeastern Slovene Prealps (Sl: Severovzhodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.III

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

* Western Slovene Prealps:
* supergroup Škofjeloško-Cerkljansko-Polhograjsko-Rovtarsko hribovje \- SOIUSA code:II/C-36.I-A
* Eastern Slovene Prealps:
* supergroup Posavsko hribovje \- SOIUSA code:II/C-36.II-A
* Northeastern Slovene Prealps:
* supergroup Strojno s Pohorskim hribovjem \- SOIUSA code:II/C-36.III-A
* supergroup Vitanjsko-Konjiško hribovje \- SOIUSA code:II/C-36.III-B
