Signalkuppe, Mountain summit in Monte Rosa massif, Italy
Signalkuppe rises to 4,554 meters above sea level, forming part of the Monte Rosa group with steep glaciated slopes and exposed ridges.
The first recorded ascent occurred in August 1842 when Giovanni Gnifetti led a group of mountaineers to reach the previously untouched summit.
The Margherita Hut at the summit functions as both a shelter for mountaineers and a scientific research station studying high-altitude phenomena.
Climbers access the mountain through established routes from either the Gnifetti Hut or Mantova Hut, requiring glacier travel equipment and alpine experience.
The summit holds Europe's highest mountain refuge, featuring copper cladding that transforms the structure into a protective Faraday cage against electrical fields.
