The Punta Straling is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, in northwestern Italy, with an elevation of 3,115 metres (10,220 ft).

Part of the Monte Rosa massif, it is located on the border between the municipalities of Alagna Valsesia, Piedmont, and Gressoney-La-Trinité, Aosta Valley, on the drainage divide between the Valle del Lys and the Valsesia. The Passo Zube, to its north, divides it from the Corno Rosso; the Passo della Coppa, to its south, divides it from the Corno Grosso.[1][2]

The peak can be reached with a scramble from both passes.[3][4]
