Alto de la Triguera
Sure it means "hill" or "peak", but I would not translate it as it is a name. There are many "Altos de" in Spain, I would suggest the following solution:
Alto de la Triguera (elevation 1.916 m)

Comment: "I agree with you about not translating the name, but then it comes as part of a description. This is an 'alto' etc. In which case I'll have to put peak or mountain or something. Thanks everyone."

: así es. Harper Collins traduce Golan Heights por Altos del Golán, con lo cual se podría hacer algo similar aquí :>)
