The mountain serves as a natural boundary marker between France and Spain, representing centuries of territorial delineation in the Pyrenean mountain system.

Visitors can access the summit through established hiking trails, with weather conditions requiring appropriate mountain gear and careful preparation.

The peak contains specific geological formations that showcase the transformation of ancient sedimentary rocks through millions of years of mountain-building processes.
