The Düssi (or Piz Git) is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, located on the border between the cantons of Uri and Graubünden. Its massif separates the valleys of Maderanertal (Uri) and Val Russein (Graubünden). The summit (3,256 metres) is also named Gross Düssi to distinguish it from a lower summit (3,127 metres) named Chli Düssi.
The Düssi is surrounded by glaciers, the largest being the Hüfifirn on its northern side. The largest on its south-eastern side (in Graubünden) is the Glatscher da Cavrein.
