Geographic features edit
Some 250 metres below the summit is a round cirque, approximately 100 metres in diameter, which was formed by glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum and which is now a lake, Estany de les Truites (the trout lake).
The valley to the south of the mountain is used as a ski area.
History edit
During the neolithic, sedentary populations inhabited the dels Aspres hills, and built megalithic dolmens in the area.[1]
