The Jazzihorn or Pizzo Cingino Nord 3227m is a mountain on the border between Switzerland and Italy, in the Swiss canton Valais. Jazzihorn separates the valleys “Ofental” and “Furgtälli” and is close-by the reservoir “Stausee Mattmark”. In the vicinity are the villages Saas Almagell in Switzerland and Macugnaga in Italy and two notorious bootlegger-pass “Passo di Antigine or Ofentalpass 2835m” and “Antronapass or Passo di Saas 2838m”. To the north of the Jazzihorn you find the small glacier "Furggengletscher". That’s no more a glacier, just a firn.

Btw: Jazzihorn is a lonely mountain more, "with little traffic", on my SP side...
