For example, in 1930, glacier-capped Cima Tosa was the highest mountain of the Brenta Dolomites at 3,173 m, but now is around 3,140 m high and some 10 m lower than its rocky neighbor Cima Brenta (3,151 m). Most maps and guides still report Cima Tosa's old height. [3]
This page contains a table listing by elevation all 514 mountains of the Alps that are between 2500 and 3000m m high and which also have a topographic prominence of at least 300 metres (984 ft). The list is a continuation of the List of prominent mountains of the Alps above 3000 m , which contains an introduction with statistics and an ...
For a list by height, see the list of mountains of the Alps. By descending to 1,500 m of prominence, this list includes all the Ultras of the Alps. Some famous peaks, such as the Matterhorn and Eiger, are not Ultras because they are connected to higher mountains by high cols and therefore do not achieve enough topographic prominence.
The list is a continuation of the List of prominent mountains of the Alps (2500–2999 m) and List of prominent mountains of the Alps above 3000 m, which contains an introduction with statistics and an explanation of the criteria.

Additional criteria were used to include or exclude some points, based on the mountain's overall morphology ...
