The cluster is in the upper Val di Vara on the Ligurian side of the Apennines, close to the Cisa ridge and the Tuscan-Emilian border. The Vara river basin and its wooded side valleys define the landscape here. The area touches the Parco Naturale Regionale di Montemarcello-Magra-Vara farther down the valley, but around Zeri itself the immediate surroundings are mainly mountain pasture, chestnut woods and Apennine hamlets. The nearest larger centres used for services are Pontremoli and Sarzana/La Spezia in different directions, with rail links and full everyday services outside the mountains. The area is known locally for upland pastures and scattered stone villages of Lunigiana and the upper Vara.
