<P> The border between the modern states of Switzerland and Italy extends to 744 km , from the French - Swiss - Italian tripoint at Mont Dolent in the west to the Austrian - Swiss - Italian tripoint near Piz Lad in the east . Much of the border runs across the High Alps , rising above 4,600 meters as it passes east of Dufourspitze , but it also descends to the lowest point in Switzerland as it passes Lago Maggiore below 200 meters . </P>
