Punta del Cravile

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.

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.

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.

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.
