[4] Giovanni Bobba and Luigi Vaccarone in their Guida delle Alpi Occidentali (Guide book to Western Alps) named the mountain Punta Vaudaletta, while in the technical map of Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta its name is Pointe du Leynir.

[1] The mountain is located on the border between Piedmont and Aosta Valley and its summit is the tripoint where Valle dell'Orco meets the Valsavarenche and the Val di Rhêmes, both tributaries of Dora Baltea.

After a saddle at 3,112 m[1] it rises to the neighbouring Punta Bes (3,177 m) and then it goes down reaching the Colle del Nivolet.

[4] The mountain, due to its location, offers a very good view on the nearby massif of Gran Paradiso.

[4] For ski mountaineers, who also usually start from Colle del Nivolet, the level of difficulty is considered BS (Good Skiers).
