It separates the Valle del Lys, the Valsesia and the Valle Cervo, and is included in the comuni of Gaby, Rassa and Andorno Micca.
Its names (meaning "Peak of the Three Bishops") stems from the fact that its peak is the convergence point of the Catholic dioceses of Biella, Aosta and Vercelli.
The Cima Tre Vescovi is separated from the nearby mount Gemelli di Mologna by the Mologna Grande pass. On the Valsesia side are three small lakes (Italian: Laghi dei Tre Vescovi), while another is on the Aosta Valley side (Gretie).
