Three Peaks, Dolomites, Italy (9,839ft/2,999m)

These three distinctive peaks are an unmissable sight in the Dolomites mountain range in northeastern Italy. Called Tre Cime di Lavaredo in Italian, the Three Peaks formed the border between Italy and Austria until 1919 and now they separate the Italian provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno. The peaks have also had several silver screen appearances in films like The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones and most recently they featured in the Han Solo spin-off within the Star Wars universe Solo.

Zugspitze, Wetterstein, Germany (9,717ft/2,962m)

Germany's highest peak, Zugspitze is often called the top of Germany. Part of the Wetterstein mountain range of the Alps, the Austria–Germany border goes right over the mountain and before both countries joined the Schengen zone, there was a manned border checkpoint at the summit. Today, there are three cable cars ascending to the top where over 400 peaks in four different countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy) can be seen from the viewing platforms.

Cuernos del Paine, Cordillera Paine, Chile (9,462ft/2,884m)

A rugged landscape of jagged peaks, shimmering lakes, ancient forests and vast glaciers, Patagonia is a region that captures the imagination. The sharp granite towers that rise over the landscape are one of the vast Torres del Paine National Park's most striking landmarks. The individual spikes are also very fittingly named after sharp things, including Shark's Fin, The Sword and The Blade.

Mount Roraima, Venezuela (9,220ft/2,810m)

Towering above the clouds, the majestic Mount Roraima is a natural border between Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana in South America. Around two billion years old, the flat-top mountain is considered to be among the oldest in the world. It's also the highest tepui (South American table-top mountain) on the continent. The otherworldly looking natural wonder is said to be the inspiration behind the plateau with dinosaurs and ape-men in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel The Lost World.
