How accurate is this?
35 m low This 3D map reads 2,209 m at the summit; the official height is 2,244 m.
Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 50 m.
| Source | Summit | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Official height (Wikidata) | 2,244 m | — |
| Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page) | 2,209 m | -35 m |
| Copernicus GLO-90 | 2,194 m | -50 m |
