From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

This page contains a table listing by elevation all 514 mountains of the Alps that are between 2500 and 3000m m high and which also have a topographic prominence of at least 300 metres (984 ft). The list is a continuation of the List of prominent mountains of the Alps above 3000 m, which contains an introduction with statistics and an explanation of the criteria. The list is continued down to 2000 m elevation on this page.

Notes

  1. [N 1]
    Unranked summits have a topographic prominence between 293 and 299 m. They are included given the uncertainties in estimating these values.
  2. [N 2]
    Numbers in italics are estimates when a precise height for the key col is lacking. For example, maps often provide heights for the place where a route passes over a ridge rather than for the lowest point in the ridge.
  3. [N 3]
    For the Eastern Alps the range names are according to the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps.
  4. [N 4]
    SOIUSA codes, representing a proposal for a new classification system of the Alps. The codes usually but not always correspond to established ranges. Sorting on this tab puts the mountains in a geographic order, roughly from the southwest to the east.
  5. [N 5]
    State in Austria and Germany, department in France, province in Italy, and canton in Switzerland.
  6. [N 6]
    P.2938 on the French maps. The name Pic de Chabrières is given to a 2,747 m sub-summit and the point may have another name.
  7. [N 7]
    Equally high Cima del Sasse & Moiazza Sud are separated by the 363 m deep Forcella delle Sasse
  8. [N 8]
    A point 2978 on the old Italian topographic maps, between Tête des Vieux (2873 m) and Têtes de Jeunes (2785 m), has been copied by the Swiss and French topographic maps, but is not supported by the SRTM data and is absent from the Carta Tecnica Regionale of 2005. It probably was a typo for 2778.
  9. [N 9]
    The key col is the Riekentörl, which in all literature is 2525 m, although SRTM and BEV map contours suggest it is above 2540 m.
  10. [N 10]
    Equally high Seejoch and Peiderspitze are 1.5 km apart and separated by a 217 m deep saddle.
  11. [N 11]
    High point between Il Madone and Campanile.
  12. [N 12]
    The key col "Verborgene Gratscharte" is variably given as 2414, 2420 and 2425 m, though the BEV map contour lines appear to indicate > 2440 m.
  13. [N 13]
    Commonly given a height of 2,652 m. This is the height of the top of the north face. The true summit is 100 m SSE.
  14. [N 14]
    Equally high twin peaks separated by 500 m and a 170 m deep pass.
  15. [N 15]
    Säntis is on the border of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Appenzell Innerrhoden, and St. Gallen.
