Lattias is located in the central-northern sector of the mountain massif, about 1 km east of the Is Caravius peak, along a watershed that delimits the Rio Guttureddu drainage basin to the west, in one of the most evocative areas of the WWF Monte Arcosu Reserve. It marks the boundary between the municipal territories of Siliqua (north-west), Uta (north-east) and the administrative island of Assemini (south).
It is clearly visible from the east and north, due to its characteristic appearance, as the massif is composed of a series of leucogranite spires shaped by erosion, arranged to form a ridge almost two kilometers long. The profile of the ridge is sharply cut by the "S'Ena Manna" pass, which separates the granite plateau where the Lattias peak is located (south-east) from the "Lattias towers" ridge (north-east).
