Recently I climbed Mt Korab, the highest mountain in North Macedonia. It is also the highest mountain in Albania. This got me thinking, how many other mountains are the highest peak in multiple countries?

Using Wikipedia as the source, I found there are 5 mountains which are the highest peak in multiple countries. In order of height, these are:

Mountain Countries Elevation
Everest China & Nepal 8848m
Mount Stanley Uganda & DRC 5109m
Mont Blanc France & Italy 4820m
Mt Korab Albania & North Macedonia 2764m
Mont Nimba Ivory Coast & Guinea 1752m

So there you have it. I’m surprised it’s so few given the nature of mountain ranges as borders.
