This is a list of the highest mountains of Switzerland.This list only includes summits above 3,600 metres (11,811 ft) with a topographic prominence of at least 30 metres. . Note that this list includes many secondary summits that are typically not considered mountains (in the strict sense of the term) but that are mainly of climbing intere
All mountain heights and prominences on the list are from the largest-scale maps available. [2]However, heights sometime conflict on different scales. For example, the Fletschhorn is indicated to be 3,993 m (13,100 ft), 3,982 m (13,064 ft), and 3,984 m (13,071 ft) high on the 1:100'000, 1:50'000 and 1:25'000 Swisstopo map, respectively.

This is a list of mountains of Switzerland above 3,000 metres (9,843 ft). This height, in the Alps, approximately corresponds to the level of the climatic snow line.Note that this list includes many secondary summits that are not always considered independent mountains (in the strict sense of the term) but that are mainly of climbing interest.
The following list is a comparison of elevation absolutes in Switzerland. Data includes interval measures of highest and lowest elevation for all 26 cantons, with coordinates of the highest. Location names, mean elevation, and the numeric differences between high and low elevations are also provided.
This list notably includes the Klein Matterhorn and the Säntis, respectively the highest [2] and the most prominent [3] peaks of Europe with public transport access. It also includes the Chasseral, the most isolated summit of the country accessible to pedestrians. This list does not include ski lifts.
