Piz di Sassiglion, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland and Italy

Piz di Sassiglion is a summit reaching 2,855 meters that straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy within the Livigno Alps. The peak can be reached from the Swiss Poschiavo region on one side and from the Italian Val Grosina on the other.

Piz di Sassiglion lies on the border between Switzerland and Italy, the highest summit of the chain south of Passo di Malghera. The pass, at 2,542 metres, is the mountain crossing linking the Poschiavo side with the Val Grosina side.

The name blends Romansh and Italian, reflecting how two language areas meet at this location. Local people use both versions depending on which side of the border they approach from.

Both approach routes demand alpine experience, good weather conditions, and proper mountaineering equipment. It is wise to start early and check mountain conditions before attempting the climb.

The summit rises 313 meters above its parent peak Cima Viola, making it a distinct mountain in its own right. This vertical separation gives it a standalone status for climbers interested in collecting multiple summits in this alpine group.
