Punta Lunella, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Punta Lunella is a mountain summit in the Graian Alps standing at about 2,770 meters elevation. The ridge of this peak marks the boundary between Val Susa and Val di Viù.
The peak was originally named Punta Cruvin in 1831, a name referring to nearby mountain pastures. The current name was later adopted for national maps.
The peak's name comes from the mountain pastures that once sustained local herding activities. Today this historical name appears on regional maps, keeping that pastoral tradition in memory.
Climbers typically begin their ascent from Prarotto chapel near Condove or from Pian Benot ski resort in the Viù Valley. The best season for hiking is from late spring through early autumn when routes are free of ice.
The mountain contains rare minerals including chrysotile, magnetite, perovskite, and titanite that draw experts and mineral collectors. This geological composition makes it notable for those interested in earth sciences.
