The commune is located at the northern extremity of Bistrița-Năsăud County, 60 km (37 mi) from the county seat, Bistrița, on the border with Maramureș County. It is situated at an altitude of 565 m (1,854 ft), along the Dealul Ștefăniței Pass, in a hilly area between the Țibleș Mountains and the Rodna Mountains.
