It is also located about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) west of the village of Hellesylt in Stranda Municipality. It also lies about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southeast of the village of Leira in Ørsta Municipality.

A popular viewpoint of the summit is from the Honndøla bridge which was built in 1810. The bridge lies near Norwegian County Road 60 in Indre Hornindal. North of the mountain lies the lake Tyssevatnet which is the innermost lake in the Hjørundfjorden area.
