Cima del Bonom, Mountain summit in Biellese Alps, Italy

Cima del Bonom is a mountain summit in the Biellese Alps reaching 1,877 meters (6,160 feet) between Val Sessera and Valle Cervo in Piedmont. Multiple marked trails provide access to the peak, with popular starting points at Bocchetto Sessera and the Oriomosso hamlet.

A geodetic point was established on the mountain by the Italian Military Geographic Institute to support territorial mapping and survey work in the region. This survey marker reflects the historical importance of precise geographic data for managing alpine areas.

The name comes from Piedmontese bonom or bunom, meaning good-natured and, by extension, simpleton. The summit holds the IGM trigonometric point coded 030009. The whole area lies within Oasi Zegna, created in 1993 to protect and promote the mountain zone between Trivero and the Bo.

The best hiking season runs from June through October when trails are dry and snow-free. Sturdy hiking boots and navigation skills are essential since mountain paths can be exposed and weather changes quickly in alpine terrain.

The summit holds an IGM trigonometric point coded 030009, part of Italy's national survey network. The name comes from Piedmontese bonom, meaning a good-natured or simple person, a nickname for the mountain rather than any rock formation.
