The Wannig forms the western end of the Mieming Range. To the southwest lies the village of Nassereith in the Gurgltal valley, to the south is the Holzleiten Saddle that links the Gurgltal with the Mieming Plateau. To the north lies the Fern Pass, a crossing from the Gurgltal to Biberwier in the Ehrwald Basin. To the east the Mieming Chain continues with the Handschuhspitzen and the Marienbergjoch (1,789 m).
