Notes

  1. [N 1]
    Unranked summits have a topographic prominence between 293 and 299 m l. 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
