Punta Maria Cristina
# Punta Maria Cristina

The Punta Maria Cristina (lit. 'Maria Cristina Peak') is a mountain (3,706 m) of the Pennine Alps, located on the Swiss-Italian border. It lies on the main Alpine watershed, between the Dent d'Hérens and the Matterhorn.

On the summit is the permanent bivouac shelter named Giorgio e Renzo Novella [it], dedicated in 1983 to the Novella Brothers from Vercelli, who both died while mountain-climbing.
