The Margherita Hut (Capanna Osservatorio Regina Margherita) is located 4,556 metres above sea level, on the Punta Gnifetti summit of Monte Rosa. It is the Europe’s highest mountain hut. A project by the Politecnico di Milano aims to refurbish the building in the name of environmental and energy sustainability, safety, accessibility and services.
