Island High Points of Europe

An island high point gives the most honest measure of a climb: you can start at the sea and walk every metre. Europe's islands hold some of its most striking summits, from volcanoes in the Atlantic to limestone peaks in the Mediterranean.

45 island high points are listed here, from Teide (3,715 m) down to Ta' Dmejrek (253 m). Many are possible all year round, which makes them good winter objectives when the Alps are under snow.
