Phou Bia (Lao: ພູເບັ້ຍ, pronounced [pʰúː bîa]) is the highest mountain in Laos. It is in the Annamese Range, at the southern limit of the Xiangkhoang Plateau in Xaisomboun Province. Owing to its elevation—2,819 m (9,249 ft), the highest terrestrial point in Laos, the climate is cold and the area around the mountain is mostly cloudy.
