Monte Barone is a mountain of the Alpi Biellesi, a sub-range of the Pennine Alps.
Due to its isolation it offers a noteworthy point of view towards the Po plain and can be seen from quite a long distance away (i.e. from Turin).
The same etymology occurs for several other mountains like Colma di Mombarone or Monte Baron (Graian Alps).
Administratively it is divided between the comunes of Coggiola and Caprile, both belonging to the province of Biella.
[4] A mountain hut with 22 bunk-beds is located at 1,610 m - Rifugio Monte Barone can be useful for hikers and climbers.
