This article contains a sortable table listing mountains of Italy. All mountain heights and prominences on the list are from the largest-scale maps available. [1] In the list, only the exact location of the culminating point of the mountain is considered.
The list of peaks that follows is not complete, but the peaks are all notable. Island high points (whose prominence is equal to their elevation) can be found at the List of islands by highest point; hence most are not included below. Some well-known peaks listed here do not score highly by prominence.
Twenty-five Italian sites were added during the 1990s, including 10 sites added at the 21st session held in Naples in 1997. Italy has served as a member of the World Heritage Committee five times, 1978–1985, 1987–1993, 1993–1999, 1999–2001, and 2021–2025. [3] Out of Italy's 60 heritage sites, 54 are cultural and 6 are natural. [3]
Pages in category "Mountain ranges of Italy" The following 78 pages are in this category, out of 78 total. This list may not reflect recent changes. A. Adula Alps;
This page tabulates only the most prominent mountains of the Alps, selected for having a topographic prominence of at least 300 metres (980 ft), all exceeding 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) in height. Although the list contains 537 summits, some significant alpine mountains are necessarily excluded for failing to meet the stringent prominence criterion.
For a list by height, see the list of mountains of the Alps. By descending to 1,500 m of prominence, this list includes all the Ultras of the Alps. Some famous peaks, such as the Matterhorn and Eiger, are not Ultras because they are connected to higher mountains by high cols and therefore do not achieve enough topographic prominence.
The above European Top 10 list excludes peaks on lands and islands that are part of European countries but are outside or on the limits of the European continent and its tectonic and geographic boundaries, like Teide (with prominence of 3,715 m, 12,188 ft), Tenerife Island, Spain; Belukha peak of the Altai Mountains in Russia (with prominence of 3,343 m, 10,968 ft); and Piton des Neiges (with ...
National and regional parks in Italy. The national parks of Italy are protected natural areas terrestrial, marine, fluvial or lacustrine, which contain one or more intact ecosystems (or only partially altered by anthropic interventions) and/or one or more physical, geological, geomorphological, biological formations of national and international interest, for naturalistic, scientific, cultural ...
