Part of the Monte Rosa massif, it is located on the border between the municipalities of Alagna Valsesia, Piedmont, and Gressoney-La-Trinité, Aosta Valley, on the drainage divide between the Valle del Lys and the Valsesia. The Passo Zube, to its south, divides it from the Punta Straling; the Col d'Olen, to its north, divides it from the Corno del Camoscio.[1][2][3]
The peak can be reached with a scramble from Passo Zube, or, with greater difficulty, from Col d'Olen.[4][5][6]
