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. For a list of mountains (major summits only) including lower summits, see List of mountains of Switzerland.
The Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme defines a summit in the Alps as independent, if the connecting ridge between it and a higher summit drops at least 30 m (a prominence/drop of 30 m, with the lowest point referred to as the "key col"). There are over 250 such summits exceeding 3,600 m in Switzerland, located in the High Alps, in the cantons of Valais, Bern, Graubünden, Uri and Glarus. All mountain heights and prominences on the list are from the largest-scale maps available.
