The Bisalta also known as Besimauda is a mountain in the Ligurian Alps located at the convergence of the two short valleys of the Colla and Josina streams and the Pesio valley. It affects the municipalities of Peveragno and Boves in the Province of Cuneo.
It has two peaks (the main one 2,231 meters above sea level, the subpeak 2,018 meters above sea level), from which it derives its name ("bis alta", "twice high"). The main peak and the subpeak have a summit cross. Due to its location, the Bisalta is an exceptional panoramic point, allowing to see even the Ligurian Sea on particularly clear days.
