The Signalkuppe (in German, pronounced seeg-nall-koo-pay) also known as Punta Gnifetti (in Italian) (4,554 m) is a peak in the Pennine Alps on the border between Italy and Switzerland.

The first ascent was made by Giovanni Gnifetti, a parish priest from Alagna Valsesia, together with J. Farinetti, C. Ferraris, C. Grober, J. and G. Giordiano and their porters on 9 August 1842.

Work started in 1890, supported by the Italian crown, and Queen Margherita opened it in 1893.

The new hut, effectively a high-altitude Faraday cage, is clad in sheet copper to shield against unwanted electrical fields.
