The name Civrari means goats’ mountain (from ciavra, the Piedmontese word for goat).[2] There is strong evidence that the area was in the past widely exploited for goat grazing.[3]
The Civrari is not an isolated peak but a small massif. Its main summit is named Punta Imperatoria; in the massif are also located Torretta del Prete (2.264m), Punta della Croce (2.236m), Monte Rognoso (1.952m) and, in a wider sense, also the Punte di Costafiorita and Punta Sourela (1.777m).
On the summit of Punta Imperatoria stands a trigpoint of the IGM named Monte Civrari (code 055037).[4]
Punta Imperatoria is located slightly N of the ridge dividing Val Susa from Val di Viù, and stands on the border between the comunes of Viù and Lemie (both in the Metropolitan City of Turin).
