Overview

The Piz Paradisin 3302m is a mountain in Switzerland and Italy, in the canton Grisons and in the Livigno Group. This mountain is located in the north of the refuge Saoseo 1986m (Swiss Grid 806099/141925) on the border Switzerland/Italy. Paradisin is close-by the village Poschiavo in the same-named region Poschiavo. Piz Paradisin is a popular mountain in summer as well as in spring with ski. With ski is essential to have a minimal avalanche risk.

To the south-west of the Piz Paradisin you find "Vedreit da Camp", the last glacier in the area, which has suffered heavily from global warming. Like many other glaciers in the Rhaetian Alps. The word Vedreit is Rhaeto-Romanic and translates glacier.

The direct neighbor-mountain is the Corn da Camp 3232m.
