Location
The peak of Monte Renoso is on the boundary between the commune of Ghisoni in Haute-Corse and the communes of Bastelica and Bocognano in Corse-du-Sud. The peak is located on the S-shaped backbone of the island. The 2,247 metres (7,372 ft) Punta Bacinello is to the north, the 2,255 metres (7,398 ft) Punta alla Vetta is to the west and the 2,273 metres (7,457 ft) Punta Orlandino is to the south.

Physical
Monte Renoso has a prominence of 1,189 metres (3,901 ft) and elevation of 2,352 metres (7,717 ft). It is isolated by 9.12 kilometres (5.67 mi) from its nearest higher neighbor, Monte d'Oro, to the north-northwest. Ski runs were established on the lower slopes to the northeast of the summit, but have since been abandoned due to lack of dependable snow. The hike to the top from the north is straightforward, but the hiker has to scale many large granite boulders. Even in summer, the weather on the mountain can be unpredictable.
