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 north, divides it from the Corno Rosso; the Passo della Coppa, to its south, divides it from the Corno Grosso.[1][2]
The peak can be reached with a scramble from both passes.[3][4]
