Name


The name was originally spelled Piz d'Aint, which is Romansh for "inner peak". The name is relative to the peak to the east called Piz d'Ora, meaning "outer peak". It corresponds to the local naming convention.

The name was officially changed to Piz Daint towards the end of the 20th century.
