Accuracy

How accurate is this?

19 m high This 3D map reads 601 m at the summit; the official height is 582 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model measures the surface, snow, ice and trees included, and official heights can come from older surveys.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	582 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	601 m	+19 m
Copernicus GLO-90	598 m	+16 m
