Rifugio Capanna Regina Margherita is the highest-altitude building in Europe, at 14,941 feet. It opened in 1893, one of the oldest refuges for hikers in the Italian Alps. It was prefabricated by the Italian Alpine Club in the valley and transported to the top of the mountain in pieces. The hut’s dedicatee, Queen Margherita of Savoy, was carried up for the opening.
