Monticchio

Monticchio, Mountain summit in the Biella Alps, Piedmont, Italy

Monticchio is a mountain summit in the Biella Alps rising to 1,697 meters (5,571 feet). Its southwestern slope is grassy and faces the plain below, while the northeastern side is covered in forest and overlooks the Valsessera valley.

The summit marks a boundary where three municipalities meet: Campiglia Cervo, Sagliano Micca, and a section of Veglio. This location positioned it as a natural marker across the territorial divisions of the region.

The summit lies within the Oasi Zegna, a protected mountain area created in 1993 between Trivero and the Bo peak. The name Monticchio is a diminutive of monte, "small mount". The peak carries the IGM trigonometric marker coded 043298, and walkers reach it on footpaths from the Bocchetto di Sessera.

Hiking trails to the summit start from Bocchetto di Sessera with varying difficulty levels. Winter visitors can access snowshoeing routes from Piaro and the Panoramica Zegna route.

The 1,626 m subsidiary top about 0.5 km east of the summit is an orographic node: from it runs the long ridge separating the Cervo valley from the Strona di Mosso basin, including nearby Monte Casto. The summit also carries the IGM trigonometric point code 043298.
