Andorno Micca (Piedmontese: Andorn) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Biella in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) northeast of Turin and about 4 kilometres (2 mi) northwest of Biella.

Overview[]

It is located in the Valle Cervo, at the feet of the Biellese Prealps.
