Accuracy

How accurate is this?

35 m low This 3D map reads 265 m at the summit; the official height is 300 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 46 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	300 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	265 m	-35 m
Copernicus GLO-90	254 m	-46 m
