Its Italian side is rocky and steep, containing the small Siedel glacier, whereas the Swiss side is party covered by the Gries glacier. The Siedel Rothorn lies between the Blinnenhorn (to the north) and the Bättelmatthorn (to the south), to which it is linked by ridges.
Although less famous than Ofenhorn or Basòdino, the Siedel Rothorn is taller, the second tallest peak of Val Formazza after the nearby Blinnenhorn. The peak can be climbed from Rifugio 3A or Rifugio Città di Busto.
