Vyšehoří lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) west of Šumperk, 48 km (30 mi) north-west of Olomouc, and 176 km (109 mi) east of Prague.
The name is derived from its locality „higher in the mountains“ (Vyše - higher, hoří - mountains) as it is situated in Drozdovská vrchovina highlands.

The village was part of Zábřeh manor to the fall of the feudal system in 1848.
