Margherita Hut

Province of Vercelli, Italy · built 1893

The Margherita Hut (Capanna Regina Margherita, Cabane reine Marguerite) is a mountain hut belonging to the Italian Alpine Club, located on the summit of Punta Gnifetti (Signalkuppe) of Monte Rosa, a mountain massif of the Alps lying near the border between Italy and Switzerland. At 4,554 metres (14, 941 ft) above sea level, it is the highest building in Europe. It was originally opened in 1893 as a research station for high altitude medicine which it still is, but it also serves as a simply equipped mountain hut for alpinists.
