The mountain is sometimes also called Honndalsrokken or sometimes just Rokken or Rokkjen. The mountain is located about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) northeast of the village of Grodås and lake Hornindalsvatnet. It is also located about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) west of the village of Hellesylt in Stranda Municipality. It lies about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southeast of the village of Leira in Volda Municipality.
