The environment is karst, with persistent grass and without large trees, as expected on the summit of a carbonate massif.
Located on the Apennines ridge between Campania and Molise, from the top it can be enjoyed at a wide panorama that, on clear days, sweeps between the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas.
