The Piz Settember ( Rhaeto-Romanic in the idiom Surmiran for September ) is a mountain east of Ferrera and west of Riom-Parsonz in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland with an altitude of 2728  m above sea level. M. It is the highest point between the Fuorcla Cotschna and the Pass da Schmorras. From the east it appears inconspicuously as a grass hill, from the west as a steep limestone rock. Its proximity to the Savognin ski area makes it an easy-to-reach ski touring mountain.
