List of mountains of the Allgäu Alps

Add article description

This list of mountains of the Allgäu Alps tabulates those peaks and summits with names and spot heights that lie within the Allgäu Alps and that have a prominence of over 30 metres (98 ft).[1][lower-alpha 1] and an isolation of 100 m (330 ft) or more (rounded).

The Krottenspitze, Öfnerspitze and Großer Krottenkopf in the Allgäu Alps

Legend

  • No.: the order of the first fourteen peaks, because these are confirmed. The summits are arranged in order of height.
  • Name: the name used in the literature.
  • Elevation: the height of the summit point in metres. Depending on the location this will be reference to Normalhöhennull (Germany) or metres above the Adriatic (Austria).[lower-alpha 2]
  • Group: the sub-range with the Allgäu Alps to which the mountain is assigned. The main summit of a sub-group is highlighted in colour.
  • Location: the state and country in which the summit is located.
  • Prominence: the prominence is the height difference between summits and the highest col to which one must at least descend in order to reach a higher summit. Given in metres together with the reference point (col).
  • Isolation: the isolation describes the radius of the area over which the mountain rises. Given in kilometres with the reference point (rounded to 100 metres based on mathematical rules).
  • Image: photograph of the respective mountain.

Notes

  1. For several summits exact values were not possible to ascertain. Their prominence is therefore estimated from the value and spacing of 20 m (66 ft) contour lines on the relevant topographic map. The actual prominence of these peaks could therefore be up to 19 m (62 ft) higher.
  2. Variations in the heights given due to different survey systems or reference points cannot be ruled out. This is especially true of summits along the Austro-German border.
  3. "Note" Exact value not known; given value is a minimum figure (it could be up to 19 metres greater). it was taken from the separation of the 20 metre contour lines of the topographic map, 1:25,000 series)
