It is isolated by 1.88 kilometres (1.17 mi) from the slopes of its nearest higher neighbor, Monte Cinto.[2] It is in the central chain of the Monte Cinto massif at a point where a ridge leads east to the 2,706 metres (8,878 ft) Monte Cinto.[3] It is in the Grande Barriere, the crestline that runs from Monte Cinto westward to Paglia Orba.[4] It is northeast of the 2,525 metres (8,284 ft) Paglia Orba.[3]

Punta Minuta is drained to the west by tributaries of the Fango river, to the north by tributaries of the Asco river and to the south by tributaries of the Golo river.[3] The southern side of the mountain is free of snow from May/June until September. The northern side retains snow and ice throughout the year.[4]
