List of Alpine peaks by prominence

This is a list of the mountains of the Alps, ordered by their topographic prominence. For a list by height, see the list of mountains of the Alps. By descending to 1500m of prominence, this list includes all the Ultras of the Alps.

Where the prominence parent and the island parent differ, the prominence parent is marked with "¹" and the island parent with "²" (with Mont Blanc abbreviated to MB). The column "Col" denotes the highest altitude to which one must descend from a peak in order to reach peaks with higher altitudes; note that the altitude of any peak is the sum of its prominence and col.
