This imposing massif, from which the baita gets its name rises between the Vallon Alto and the Busa di Sacco, and dominates with it height, and grandness of its forms, the Val d'Algone and Baita Valon.

At 3.173m it's the highest mountain of the Brenta Dolomites. An imposing rock massif with steep sides nestled between the Pozza Tramontana and the upper ends of the Ambiez, Camosci and Brenta valleys. The summit is topped by a snow cupola ,almost like a shaven head, hence the name Cima Tosa which literally means,in local dialect,shaven head.
A natural balcony from where to admire the whole valley and the majestic mountains of the Adamell-Presanella Group. Movlina must be taken into consideration for its truly panoramic and strategic position for excursions in the Vallon Group and for ascents to the XII Apostoli refuge and the XII Apostoli peak,. At Movlina there's the homonymous mountain farm, but it is not a refreshment or bivouac point for hikers.
The Val d'Algone is situated in the southern sector of the Brenta Group and is one of the widest and wildest valleys of the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park. This is where Baita Valon is situated.
