The cluster sits in the Borbera valley in the Ligurian Apennines, with wooded ridges and narrow side valleys around it. The Borbera river runs through the area. The Alta Val Borbera and the Capanne di Marcarolo natural area lies in the wider surrounding Apennines, and the landscape here is the transition between Piedmont and the inland side of Liguria. The nearest substantial town is Novi Ligure, which provides the main rail and services for the area; Tortona is another service centre on the plain side. The area is known for valley villages, chestnut woods and summer river bathing spots.
