The Pizzo di Cuvignone is a mountain of Lombardy, Italy, with an elevation of 1,018 metres (3,340 ft). It is located in the Varese Prealps, in the Province of Varese, near the Cuvignone Pass which links the Valtravaglia to the Valcuvia.[1]

It is mostly composed of limestone and covered in woods of oak, ash, beech and birch.
