This website has been set up to carry on, in a European context only, the work of Aaron Maizlish, whose website at http://www.peaklist.org. contains a large selection of worldwide mountain lists. The lists on this website mainly do not feature on www.peaklist.org.
On this website you will find a growing library of hill and mountain lists for you to download and use, many of which can be printed off in booklet format. Most of the lists on this website are selected by their 'prominence' (also called 'drop') classification. This is a way of identifying separate hills and mountains. 'Prominence' or 'drop' can be defined as the difference between the height of a summit and the lowest point on the watershed connecting it with a higher summit. Many of the lists also feature a height criterion. To learn more about 'prominence' visit our 'sister' website here. Enough of the technicalities! Lists of hills and mountains are just a tool to get you out in the great outdoors to enjoy the challenges and joys of hill-walking and mountaineering.
Visit/join the Yahoo Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/europeaklist for discussion of European hills and mountains.
Watch this website as it develops in forthcoming months to find lists of the hills and mountains in the various ranges and countries of Europe. Recommended websites on European mountains
