Valleys Of Piedmont
A valley is an elongated low area often running between hills or mountains, which will typically contain a river or stream running from one end to the other. Most valleys are formed by erosion of the land surface by rivers or streams over a very long period. Some valleys are formed through erosion by glacial ice. These glaciers may remain present in valleys in high mountains or polar areas. At lower latitudes and altitudes, these glacially formed valleys may have been created or enlarged during ice ages but now are ice-free and occupied by streams or rivers. In desert areas, valleys may be entirely dry or carry a watercourse only rarely. In areas of limestone bedrock, dry valleys may also result from drainage now taking place underground rather than at the surface. Rift valleys arise principally from earth movements, rather than erosion. Many different types of valleys are described by geographers, using terms that may be global in use or else applied only locally. ...

Gemelli Di Mologna
The Monte I Gemelli (or ''Gemelli di Mologna'') is an Alpine mountain located between Aosta Valley and Piedmont (NW Italy). Toponymy Literally ''Gemelli di Mologna'' means ''Twins of Mologna'', where the ''Mologna'' is a stream tributary of the river Cervo. ''Twins'' refers to the fact that the mountain has a subsummit almost of the same elevation of its main summit. Geography The mountain belongs to the Biellese Alps, a sub-range of Pennine Alps; the ''Colle della Mologna Grande'', a pass at 2,356 m, divides it from the Punta Tre Vescovi, and the ''Colle della Mologna Piccola'' (2,208 m) from the nearby Punte Serange. The Gemelli di Mologna are located between Aosta and Cervo valleys. SOIUSA classification According to the SOIUSA (''International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps'') the mountain can be classified in the following way: * main part = Western Alps * major sector = North Western Alps * section = Pennine Alps * subsection = Souther ...

Punta Tre Vescovi
Punta Tre Vescovi (also ''Cima Tre Vescovi'') is a peak in the Biellese Prealps, in northern Italy. On its top, three valleys meet: Lys Valley, Valsesia, and Valle Cervo. Etymology Its name (meaning "Peak of the Three Bishops") stems from the fact that the peak is the convergence point of the Catholic dioceses of Biella, Aosta and Vercelli. Geography In the SOIUSA (''International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps'') it gives the name to a mountain group called ''"Catena Tre Vescovi - Mars"''. The mountain is divided from the neighboring mount Gemelli di Mologna by the Mologna Grande pass. On the Valsesia side (NE) there are three small lakes (Italian: ''Laghi dei Tre Vescovi''), while another one is on the Aosta Valley side (Gretie). Administratively Punta Tre Vescovi is included in the ''comuni'' of Gaby, Rassa and Andorno Micca.
