Sagag is the southernmost and largest commune of Alba County. It is situated on the northern slope of the Southern Carpathians, on the Sebe? Valley, between the Sureanu Mountains and the Cindrel Mountains.
The minimum altitude is that of the village of ?ugag of 480 m and the maximum in the peak of P?tru of 2130 m.
