Panix Pass
Alpine pass between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden, Switzerland
Panix Pass or Panixer Pass (Romansh: Pass dil Veptga, German: Panixerpass) (2404 m) is a Swiss Alpine pass between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden.
The pass was once an important trade route between the canton of Glarus and Italy. It connects Elm in the Sernftal in Glarus with Pigniu (Panix) in the Vorderrhein valley of Graubünden. It is not passable by car.
In October 1799, Russian General Alexander Suvorov made a strategic retreat from the French Revolutionary forces south over the pass and regrouped his forces in Austria.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Panix Pass” as alpine pass between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden, Switzerland. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as alpine pass between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden, Switzerland. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q688201. Authority coordinates are 46.856, 9.104. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1799 and 2006.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
