The location was used by local communities since medieval times to monitor mountain passes and observe approaching travelers. This strategic function made the summit an important point in the history of the Alpine valley.
The name comes from the eagle population that makes its home in this area and shapes the local landscape. The rocky terrain is regularly used by local climbers to practice traditional climbing methods and share knowledge about the Alps.
Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and warm clothing, as conditions at the top can be windy and cool. The best time for an ascent is between June and September, when the paths are drier and safer.
