The mountain sits in the Setesdalsheiene mountains on the east side of the Setesdalen valley. It is part of a line of large mountains marking the county border. The mountain Gråsteinsnosi lies a few kilometers to the north and the mountains of Svolhusgreini and Sæbyggjenuten lie a few kilometers to the south. The nearest village is Berdalen, located on the river Otra, about to the southwest of the mountain. The lake Byrtevatn in Tokke lies straight to the east.
