Pizzo la Scheggia, Alpine summit in Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Italy.

Pizzo la Scheggia is an Alpine peak in the Lepontine Alps standing at 2466 meters with steep rock faces and demanding terrain. The mountain is crisscrossed by marked hiking routes connecting the surrounding valleys to the summit.

The summit lies on the border between the Valle Vigezzo (municipality of Santa Maria Maggiore) and the Valle dell'Isorno (municipality of Montecrestese), a boundary between Italian valleys rather than an international one. The ridge runs from Al Pízz da Madèi on the Swiss border between the Pizzo Locciabella and the Cima dei Campelli. The name comes from a deep notch with two small rock windows that separates the main summit from the slightly lower Cima dei Campelli.

The name refers to a deep notch, or scheggiatura, with two small rock windows that separates the main summit from the slightly lower Cima dei Campelli to the north. The peak marks the watershed between the Valle Vigezzo, in the municipality of Santa Maria Maggiore, and the Valle dell'Isorno, in Montecrestese.

Summer months offer the safest and most accessible conditions for climbing when snow and ice have melted. Well-marked trails depart from the Arvogno hamlet and lead toward the summit.

The name comes from a distinctive rock crack that clearly separates it from the adjacent Cima Campelli peak. This characteristic fissure is the most recognizable feature when viewing the summit from afar.
