The area is dominated by Poggio Pampagliano (969 m.), Which with Poggio La Roccaccia and Poggio Roccone, slightly lower, forms a curved ridge to the northeast, which is the boundary between the basin of the river Paglia and that of Fiora River.
The Reserve protects a heterogeneous area covered by woods rich in plant species, among which is particularly important the presence of silver fir as a wild species.
