The Piz Zuort ( , 3119 m above sea level ) is a summit in the Lower Engadine Dolomites . The 3119 meter high mountain lies on the ridge between the Val Zuort in the northeast and the Val Plavna Dadora in the west. It lies in the immediate vicinity of Piz da la Crappa and Piz Mingèr (south) and Piz Pisoc on the opposite eastern side of the Val Zuort. Below the Piz at the end of the Val Zuort lies the Vadret da Zuort, a small glacier.
The Piz Zuort is very popular among ski tourists and was described by Toni Hiebeler as scenic and consistently steep. While the ascent is via the Val Zuort, the descent is possible both back through the Val Zuort and to the west and via the Fuorcla da Trigl towards Alp Laisch .
