on the water divide between che drainage basins of river Po (East) and Roya. Heading South the chain goes on with Punta Farenga and Cima Ventosa, while towards N-W it continues with the large saddle of Colla Rossa, which divides Cima Missun from Monte Bertrand. The summit, which is marked by a small cross, is located in France close to the French-Italian border, between Piemonte and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Administatively the summit belongs to the French mairie of La Brigue. On the slopes facing Italy a former military mule-track runs across the mountainside, connecting Monesi with the colle di Tenda.
