Punta Tre Vescovi

Punta Tre Vescovi, Mountain summit in the Biellese Prealps, Piedmont and Aosta Valley, Italy

Punta Tre Vescovi is a 2,503 m gneiss peak in the Biellese Alps where the Lys Valley, Valsesia and Cervo Valley meet. An eastern fore-summit at about 2,482 m lies toward the Bocchetta del Croso, and the Mologna Grande pass separates it from the Gemelli di Mologna. Small lakes, the Laghi dei Tre Vescovi, sit on the Valsesia side around 2,300 m.

The name "Peak of the Three Bishops" records that the summit is where the dioceses of Biella, Aosta and Vercelli meet; the Italian article names Novara, but the English source and the three valleys (Lys, Valsesia, Cervo) point to Vercelli. The 2,503 m summit also gives its name to the SOIUSA mountain group "Catena Tre Vescovi - Mars".

The name "Tre Vescovi" (Three Bishops) refers to the meeting of the dioceses of Biella, Aosta and Vercelli at the summit; the Italian article names Novara, but the English source and the French name Pointe des Trois-Évêques confirm Vercelli. The peak also gives its name to the SOIUSA mountain group "Catena Tre Vescovi - Mars". A nearby, lower Punta Tre Vescovi (2,344 m) stands 500 m north-east of the Colma di Mombarone and should not be confused with this one.

The normal route starts at Piedicavallo, following the E60 waymarks to Rifugio Alfredo Rivetti (2,150 m); from the Mologna Grande pass a crest path reaches the summit in about 30 minutes. The pass is also reached on waymarked trails from Gaby in the Aosta Valley or from Rassa via the Sorba valley.

Several alpine lakes sit on different slopes of the mountain: the Trois-Evêques lakes on the Valsesian side and Grekij Lake on the Valdotain side. These high-altitude bodies of water create distinct landscapes depending on which route a visitor takes.
