The cluster sits on the Apennine foothills immediately north of the Sirente massif; Monte Sirente is roughly 8–10 km to the south. The area is inside or adjacent to the Sirente‑Velino regional natural park (Parco Regionale Sirente‑Velino). To the east and northeast is the Piana di Navelli (Navelli plain), with the town of Navelli a few kilometres away. The Navelli area is known for saffron production (zafferano di Navelli). Nearest alpine-style ski lifts are on the Monte Magnola / Ovindoli area, about 25–30 km by road (roughly 30–40 minutes). The nearest city of size is L'Aquila, about 20–25 km away, offering a university, hospital, railway connections and provincial-level services.
