For "Highest mountain" I think Monte Rosa should be accepted as an answer. For "Deepest Lake", Lake Maggiore is mostly in Italy so I had not counted it as an option. Thank you!

Monte Rosa is the name of the mountain range, not the mountain itself. For Lago Maggiore, it's still the deepest lake of Switzerland, even if the bigger part of it is in Italy
