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