It stands on a brief ridge which, starting from the main chain of the Apennines near Rocca del Lago, heads south-east towards the Ligurian Sea and after Cima Fontanaccia reaches the Monte Rama.
Access to the summit
Monte Rama summit can be reached from Sant'Anna Chapel (near Lerca of Cogoleto) following a signposted footpath with a walk of around 2.30 hours.
