The mountain is located on the watershed between the upper Valley of Tanaro and the Casotto valley. The Colla Bassa saddle (1,851 m) divides it from Monte Grosso (East), while westwards the ridge goes on with Cima Ciuaiera (2,175 m) and Colla dei Termini. Close to the summit of the Monte Antoroto stands a rounded and grassy subsummit, some metres lower than the main summit.
