[edit] Which country?

This article says the peak is near the border of Switzerland and Italy, "on the Italian side". But it also says that it "is considered the highest mountain of Switzerland". And the article on Monte Rosa says: "The Dufourspitze is the highest peak of the Monte Rosa massif and at 4,634m is also the highest peak in Switzerland." --Delirium 17:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

It would seem obvious that even though the very peak is located in Italy, the border between Switzerland and Italy has a higher elevation than any other mountain(top or not) in Switzerland. The use of the word 'peak' could be misleading, I guess. --84.208.224.234 (talk) 14:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
