List of Alpine four-thousanders
Encyclopedia
This list contains all of the 128 summits and subsidiary tops of 4000 metres (13,123 ft) or more above sea level in the Alps
in France
, Italy
and Switzerland
as defined by the Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme
(UIAA). Their list, published in 1994, contains 82 'official summits' of 4,000 m or over, with the inclusion of a further 46 'lesser summits' in an enlarged list. Another list containing only independent peaks with a prominence of over 100m contains just 52 mountains.

is an important factor to decide the official nomination of a summit. The list proposed by the UIAA is based not only on prominence but also on other criteria such as the morphology
(general appearance) and mountaineering
interest. Summits such as Roccia Nera
or Mont Blanc de Courmayeur
have much less than the 30 metres minimum prominence criterion but are included in the list because of the other criteria. In comparison, the official 8000 metres summit having the smallest prominence is Lhotse
with 610 metres. A minimum prominence criterion of 500 metres would reduce the number of Alpine four-thousanders to only 22.
The table below gives the number of four-thousanders as a function of their minimum prominence.

Number of Alpine four-thousanders
Since no exact and formal definition of mountain exists, the number of 4000-metre summits is arbitrary. One can consider a stone, for instance, as a summit if it is situated above this altitude. The topographic prominenceTopographic prominence
