In what country would you find the "Three Sisters" mountain peaks?
The Three Sisters are mountain peaks located near Canmore, Alberta.
Individually, they are known as Big Sister, Middle Sister and Little Sister.
After a storm left a heavy veil of snow on the Northern face of all three peaks, they were named the Three Nuns in 1883 by Albert Rogers, nephew of A.B. Rogers, an American surveyor, best known for his discovery of the Rogers Pass in British Columbia. In 1886 they were renamed the Three Sisters by George Dawson who was a Canadian Geologist and surveyor.

Besides the Three Sisters mountain peaks in Canada, is a question could provide more specificity. It could note that the name "Three Sisters" mountain also applies to the Three Sisters mountain range in Lane and Deschutes counties, Oregon, U.S. and to the Three Sisters mountain peaks ('Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo') located in the heart of the Jamison Valley as part of the Katoomba tribe in New South Wales, Australia.
