It is the second highest point in the Monte Stello massif, which forms the backbone of Cap Corse.

The peak is roughly at the intersection of the borders of the communes of Olcani to the northwest, Olmeta-di-Capocorso to the west and Brando to the east.

It is isolated by 5.1 kilometres (3.2 mi) from the 1,324 metres (4,344 ft) Cima di e Follicie to the north northwest.

[2] Monte Stello consists of Cretaceous ophiolites that were formed during the Alpine orogeny.

It is long and takes about six and a half hours to complete, but is well-marked and not technically demanding.
