List of highest points of European countries

Topography of Europe

This page lists the highest natural elevation of each sovereign state on the continent of Europe defined physiographically. States sometimes associated with Europe politically and culturally, but not geographically part of Europe, are not included in this list of physical features.

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 countries such as Turkey, Netherlands (Saba), Kazakhstan, and Spain (Canary Islands) have part of their territory and their high points outside of Europe; their non-European high points are listed with a note.

This page does not list the highest points of non-European dependencies of European states. Greenland is such a dependency (of Denmark).
