The mountain has a gentle grassy slope dotted with farmhouses as it rises towards Monte Vaccaro to the north and steeply descends towards the Serio River to the south with sheer cliffs. Its summit is called Grom. It is bordered to the east by the “Al di Frà”, the Valley of Friars, and to the west by the Val de Fontagnù. Alino is an inaccurate version of Monte di Lino, as it has been called for centuries due to the cultivation of flax, an important textile plant.
