Note: An extended list includes 46 ‘lesser summits’. These exceptions regard
mainly secondary summits or gendarmes which, even though they satisfy the
topographic criterium, are part of other, well defined main summits, like the
Grand Gerndarme of the Weissorn, or are of little significance like the nose of
the Lyskamm. All other 4,000ers which do not meet the topographic criterium
have been examined and considered according to the more subjective criteria
(morphological, mountaineering).
