Monte Armetta is a mountain in Piedmont, northern Italy, part of the Alps.

[4] According to the historian Emanuele Celesia the name Armetta comes from Hermes, but other scholars think that it's a diminutive of arma, a local term used in Liguria for cave.

[5][full citation needed] The mountain stands on the main chain of the Alps between Tanaro and Arroscia valleys.

It belongs to the province of Cuneo, in Piedmont, and is located on the border between the municipalities of Ormea and Caprauna, not faraway from Liguria.

On Monte Armetta, in spite of its not so high elevation, grow several typical mountain flowers as Leontopodium alpinum.
