List of highest points of European countries

Topography of Europe

This page lists the highest natural elevation of each sovereign state in the continent of Europe.

Not all points in this list are mountains or hills - some are simply elevations which are not distinguishable as geographical features.

Notes are provided where territorial disputes or inconsistencies affect the listings. Some countries such as Russia, Turkey or Kazakhstan have part of their territory outside Europe; where the highest elevation listed is outside Europe, notes are provided.

For the most part, this page does not list the highest points of dependencies of European states, but may be expanded to do so in future.

Notes

  1. ^ a b Mont Blanc is the highest point in Western Europe
  2. ^ a b Official French and Italian maps are not in agreement about the local course of the international border; if Mont Blanc is not regarded as being in Italy, the highest peak would be Monte Bianco de Courmayeur (4,748 m)
  3. ^ Mount Elbrus is highest point both of Russia and of Europe
  4. ^ Teide is located in the Canary Islands; the highest point on the Spanish mainland is Mulhacén (3,479 m)
  5. ^ The highest point on United Kingdom domestic territory is Ben Nevis, 1,344 m. The highest point on UK overseas territory is Mount Paget, 2,934 m, on South Georgia (claimed by Argentina). Antarctic territorial claims, whose precise validity is unclear, are not listed here.
  6. ^ Khan Tangiri Shyngy is actually located in the Asian part of Kazakhstan; while it is not a European mountain, it is the highest peak of a country which is partly in Europe.
