Piz Roseg (pronounced as peetse rawzech) is a mountain of the Bernina Range, overlooking the Val Roseg in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

There are two summits on its main ridge:

  • the south-east and higher summit (3,935 m)
  • the north-west summit, known as the Schneekuppe (3,917 m).

There is also a prominent top on the east-north-east ridge, called the Roseg Pitschen (3,867 m) (Italian border).
