Punta Mirauda

The Punta Mirauda is a mountain of the Ligurian Alps located in Piedmont (NW Italy).

Southwards of the summit the water divide lowers with Colla Vaccarile (2.050 m) after which stand the Monte Jurin and the Cima della Fascia.

From the Punta Mirauda starts a third ridge which, heading SW, divides the Vallone Sottana from the Valle Almellina, two tributaries of the main Vermenagna Valley.

A huge network of natural tunnels, which collects underground water reaching the acquifer through many fractures and ponors, takes its name from Punta Mirauda.

[8] The Punta Mirauda can be reached from Limone Piemonte (Casali Barat village) with an easy hiking itinerary,[9] or from the Pesio valley, starting in this case from Pian delle Gorre.
