Highest Mountains in Europe: Elbrus, Mont Blanc and the Alps

Europe's great peaks, from the Caucasus to the Alps. Elbrus, Dykhtau and Kazbek rise in the Caucasus; whether Elbrus or Mont Blanc is Europe's highest depends on where you draw the border between Europe and Asia. In the Alps stand Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, the Weisshorn, the Dufourspitze, the Finsteraarhorn and Gran Paradiso. Several countries' highest peaks are here too: the Grossglockner in Austria, the Zugspitze in Germany and Triglav in Slovenia.

Finsteraarhorn, at 14 letters, is the longest word. Gran Paradiso and Grossglockner both start with GR.
