Punta dei Camosci, Alpine summit between Valais, Switzerland and Piedmont, Italy.

Punta dei Camosci is an Alpine summit at the border between Switzerland and Italy, rising to about 3043 meters elevation. The northern slopes feature glacial coverage, while the southern side displays steep rocky walls.

Punta dei Camosci lies on the ridge that runs from the Blinnenhorn up to the Griespass, on the watershed between Val Formazza and the upper Valais. The sources record no founding date or treaty for the peak itself; its history is that of the Alpine ridge it belongs to, in the Monte Leone and San Gottardo group of the Lepontine Alps. Today the summit is climbed from the Italian side via the Rifugio Città di Busto or the Rifugio 3A, and from Switzerland from the Passo della Novena.

The peak carries three names: Punta dei Camosci in Italian, Bättelmatthorn in German and Gemschlanhorä or Bedelmathorä in the Walser dialect of Formazza. The Italian name means "chamois point", after the animals of these slopes. The summit stands on the ridge rising from the Blinnenhorn towards the Gries Pass, above the Griessee and the Gries glacier.

Reaching the summit requires mountaineering experience and proper equipment depending on the chosen route. Marked trails exist from both sides, but snow and ice can complicate conditions depending on the season.

The summit stands on the ridge rising from the Blinnenhorn toward the Gries Pass, between Val Formazza and the upper Valais. It overlooks the Griessee and borders the Griesgletscher, so the ice and the pass are visible from the top.
