Comano is located in a narrow valley at the foot of Alpe di Camporàghena, along the Taverne stream. This area's distinguishing feature are the mountains, rising over 2000 meters high and covered with little vegetation; the thin woods of this territory, however, are still wild and uncontaminated.

This scantiness of vegetation notwithstanding, the arboreous species are much variegated; in autumn, the slopes of the mountain take different beautiful colours. Paths are all over the region and offer stunning views over the valleys. This typically Appenninic countryside favoured cattle-breeding and chestnut-tree rising. Trade, on the other hand, was never intense and tended to bypass this mountain region, directed towards Emilia and Toscana.
