Lists of mountains

For more than a century, there was a mountain ranking. In order to solve the difference, terrain standards have been developed and internationally recognized to determine what the mountains are. In a nutshell: The prominent position of the mountain must be over 300 meters (980 feet). If it stands out, the distance from the top of the mountain to the highest mountain is less than 300 meters, and it is higher than the higher altitude. At least seven of the 18th ring road in the Saas Valley is not the mountain but the top of the mountain. Alllaninhorn, Täschhorn and Nadelhorn - They are all higher than the Matterhorn, but without mountains, 491 meters above sea level. Allalinhorn is only 255 m, Alphubel is 210 m from Domjoch, Taeschhorn is on the southern top, and during the North Peak of Nadelhorn Dom.

The boundaries between mountains and mountains and independent mountains are not necessarily clear (see the highest rugged mountains). A common and intuitive way to distinguish mountains from supplementary peaks is to make them higher than the highest saddle that connects them to the higher peaks. It is called the measure of terrain or re-elevation. Peak ") The general definition of the mountain is the peak of 300 meters (980 feet) or use relative protrusions (protrusion / height) (usually 7-8%) to reflect on the higher mountains Please, everything is in a wider range The table below shows the top 100 peaks that stand out at least 500 meters (1,640 feet), which is equivalent to 7% of the relative protrusion One of the drawbacks of the prominent list is that you can exclude famous mountains or spectacular mountains that lead to higher peaks through high ridges, such as Mount Eiger or Mount Nubuza.
