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 ...
Some couples such as Denmark , Netherlands , Spain (Canary Islands) and Portugal (Azores Islands) have part of their territory and their high points outside of Europe; their non-European high points are mentioned in the Notes. For more details about Serbian and Kosovan highest points and ranks, see list of mountains in Kosovo.
The following expandable table forms an extended list of 46 ‘lesser summits’ identified by the UIAA. These are either: secondary summits or gendarmes which satisfy the topographic criteria, but are part of other well-defined mountain summits already listed above,
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.

175 of the summits are on international borders. A number of mountains (e.g. Rocciamelone (IT), Aiguille de Tré la Tête (IT), Monte Rosa (CH), Piz Bernina (CH), and Hochgall (IT)) straddle borders as well, but have their summit on one side. 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.
The Sierra Peaks Section keeps a list of peaks in the Sierra Nevada, and a series of emblems (levels) for climbing many them. [5] The Desert Peaks Section climbs peaks in deserts of the Southwestern U.S. and Baja Mexico. [6] The Hundred Peaks Section bags all the 277 peaks in Southern California over 5,000 feet (1,524.0 m).
