The Cima di Jazzi (English: Jazzi Peak) is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located on the Swiss-Italian border, just north of Monte Rosa. It overlooks Macugnaga on its east (Italian) side. The west (Swiss) side is entirely covered by glaciers.

Cima di Jazzi is a snow cap, the peak of the Weissgrats located north of the Y-shaped mountain rock corset. Jazzi is a common name in the Valais Alps and actually means ''mountain pasture''.[2]
