Located to the east of the town of Sale Marasino, Punta Almana stands as a natural watershed between Lake Iseo, Inzino and Trompia valleys.

Although located at a not too high altitude, Punta Almana offers great views of the nearby peaks (Guglielmo and Trentapassi), the Orobie, the Adamello, the mountains surrounding the Val Trompia and the Brescia Prealps in general, as well as being a privileged balcony on Monte Isola and all over Lake Iseo.
