4. Elbrus, Russia
Elevation 5,642m (18,510ft)
This Caucasian mountain has the reputation of the tallest European mountain, although a bit further from the “core” of European mountains which are usually in focus when thinking of Europe. Anyway, although being one of the highest mountains, it is also one of the best mountains to climb in the world taking in mind the level of difficulty – the expedition success is almost 100%.
