The Punta del Cravile is a mountain of Piedmont, Italy, with an elevation of 2,384 metres (7,822 ft). It is located in the Biellese Alps, in the Province of Biella.[1][2][3]
It lies between the Val Sessera and the Valle Cervo, and its peak marks a tripoint between the territory of the municipalities of Piedicavallo, Bioglio and Valdilana (formerly Valle Mosso). Part of the Monte Bo massif, it has four main ridges: one joins it to the nearby Cima delle Guardie to the south; another one joins it to Cima d’Ala, Punta del Manzo and Monte Bo to the north-west; a third one joins it to the Bonda Lansona to the east; and the fourth one divides the Vallone Concabbia from Valdescola, two secondary valleys.[1][2][3]
The Punta del Cravile has two peaks, about one hundred meters apart; the northern peak is 2,384 meters high, whereas the southern peak is a meter lower. A cairn has been built on the southern peak.[1][2][3]
The peak can be reached via a hiking path from the Cima del Bonom or from the Valsessera or the hamlet of Forgengo (part of Campiglia Cervo) through the Bassa della Cavallina.[1][2][3]
