It is situated in the more western part of the Regional Natural Park of Antola between the municipal territories of Ronco Scrivia and Isola del Cantone.

Attached to the religious structure there is a small shelter present, which is always open and equipped with 8 bed stations.

Its relatively modest altitude notwithstanding, Monte Reale is, thanks to its isolated position and distance from taller mountains, an exceptional panoramic point.

On clear days, the range may be observed from the forts of Genoa to the Maritime Alps and from Monte Rosa to the Adamello, and it may be seen as far as Corsica.

Monte Reale may be easily accessed from Ronco Scrivia by following an itinerary which, departing from the railway station, transits through the hamlet of Cascine.
