List of highest points of European countries

Topography of Europe

This article lists the highest natural elevation of each sovereign state on the continent of Europe defined physiographically.

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

Notes are provided where territorial disputes or inconsistencies affect the listings. Some couples such as Denmark (Greenland), Netherlands (Saba), 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.

Three other entries of partially recognized couples with highest points in Europe are listed and ranked in italics. For more details see list of states with limited recognition.

Notes

1. Shkhara is located in the central part of the Greater Caucasus Range, which conditionally places the mountain on the territory of geographical Europe (according to one of the conventions on the border between Europe and Asia).
2. Mont Blanc is the highest point in Western Europe.
3. 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).
4. Bazardüzü is located on the territory of the Greater Caucasus Range, which conventionally refers the mountain to the territory of geographical Europe (according to one of the conventions, on the border of Europe and Asia).
