How accurate is this?

27 m low This 3D map reads 2,433 m at the summit; the official height is 2,460 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 33 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	2,460 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	2,433 m	-27 m
Copernicus GLO-90	2,427 m	-33 m
