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 Lys Valley and the Valsesia. The Passo dei Salati, to its south, divides it from the Corno del Camoscio.[1][2][3] A gold mine was active at its base during the 18th and 19th centuries.[4][5]
The peak can be reached with a scramble from the Passo dei Salati.[6][7][8]
