How accurate is this?

41 m low This 3D map reads 1,016 m at the summit; the official height is 1,057 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 65 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	1,057 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	1,016 m	-41 m
Copernicus GLO-90	992 m	-65 m
