Piz Starlex, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland

Piz Starlex is a mountain summit in the Sesvenna Range that marks the border between Switzerland and Italy. The peak rises above 3,000 meters and forms part of the dramatic ridge separating these two Alpine regions.

The summit lies exactly on the border between Italy and Switzerland, where South Tyrol meets Graubünden. The large summit cross stands about 300 metres south of the actual peak, at 3,066 m on a broad plateau. The mountain is separated from Piz Sesvenna to the north by the 2,296 m S-charljoch, and its saddle prominence of 779 m makes it a comparatively independent peak.

The summit cross stands about 300 metres south of the actual top, on a broad plateau at 3066 m, not on the highest point. Walkers on the marked trail from the Avignatal reach this plateau first, then continue pathless to the 3075 m summit on the Italian-Swiss border.

The summit can be reached via multiple hiking routes that connect through Alpine passes in the region. Visitors should prepare for changing mountain conditions and select their path based on season and experience level.

The summit cross stands about 300 metres south of the actual top, on a broad plateau at 3,066 m, while the highest point at 3,075 m lies on the Italian-Swiss border. Reaching the cross is waymarked, but the short link to the true summit is pathless.
