Hikers can start from several towns including Lyaud, Vailly, or Orcier, with paragliding areas near the summit for those interested in flight. The mountain is accessible from multiple routes suitable for different ability levels.
The mountain displays a parasitic fold on its eastern side where the underlying Triassic rock core is exposed. This unusual geological feature is visible to those who explore the eastern slope.
