Beside the city itself, the municipality comprises the villages of San Giorgio, Stegona, Villa Santa Caterina, Ameto, Teodone and Riscone and comprises a territory from 812 m in the valley up to the summit of the Plan de Corones at 2,277 m. The local mountain, that is to say the Plan de Corones, dominates the municipality and attracts the attention of those who love to spend active holidays the whole year round.
