Punta Tre Vescovi


Punta Tre Vescovi is a peak in the Biellese Prealps, in northern Italy. On its top, three valleys meet: Lys Valley, Valsesia, and Cervo Valley.

Etymology

Its name stems from the fact that the peak is the convergence point of the Catholic dioceses of Biella, Aosta and Vercelli.

Geography

In the SOIUSA it gives the name to a mountain group called "Catena Tre Vescovi - Mars".
The mountain is divided from the neighboring mount Gemelli di Mologna by the Mologna Grande pass. On the Valsesia side there are three small lakes, while another one is on the Aosta Valley side.
Administratively Punta Tre Vescovi is included in the comuni of Gaby, Rassa and Andorno Micca.

From there the normal route attains the Mologna Grande Pass and then the summit following the mountain SW ridge.
