Monte Pietra Bianca (mont des Pierres-Blanches in French[1]) is a mountain of the Biellese Alps, in north-western Italy, with an elevation of 2,490 meters.
Details
The mountain lies between the Lys Valley (Aosta Valley) and the Cervo Valley (province of Biella, Piedmont); its peak is a tripoint between the border of the municipalities of Sagliano Micca, Issime and Fontainemore.[2][3]
Three ridges depart from the peak: to the north, one connects it to Monte Cresto; to the south, one connects it to the Punta della Gragliasca; to the west, one descends towards the Lys Valley.[3]
A cairn has been built on the peak, which can be reached on a hiking path from Piedicavallo.[3][4]
