Pizzo Paglia, Mountain summit in Graubünden, Switzerland.

Pizzo Paglia is a mountain summit in the Lepontine Alps, rising above the Val Cama valley. The peak marks the landscape with its isolated position in this border region between Switzerland and Italy.

The mountain serves as a natural boundary marker between Switzerland and Italy, shaping the historical geography of this alpine region. Its position at the political border made it an important reference point for surveyors and travelers.

Local mountaineers classify the Passo del Torrion to Pizzo Paglia route as T4, indicating advanced alpine hiking requirements according to Swiss rating standards.

The summit is accessible from late spring through early autumn when snow and ice have cleared. A mountain shelter located west of the peak provides orientation for hikers exploring the area.

The Italian border runs about 300 metres south of the summit, so the top itself lies entirely in Graubünden. The mountain is also known as Saas de la Paia. It is the highest point of the Muncech ridge, which runs from Passo San Jorio to Monte Berlinghera and separates the Swiss Val Mesolcina from the upper Lago di Como.
