Montagna dalla forma di grande panettone roccioso-erboso molto frequentata per l’escursionismo e lo sci-alpinismo.
Presenta tre creste rivolte a N-N-W verso il Mont Roux (2277 m.), nel senso opposto, dopo la vasta spianata erbosa della cima, a S-S-E verso il Col de Crotey (2486 m.) nella dorsale che giunge sino alla Punta Tersiva (3513 m.) ed a N-E terminante sopra l’alpeggio diroccato di Prapremier (2011 m.).

Ampie vedute sul lato orografico settentrionale della Dora Baltea e sulla Catena della Grande Roise che si erge dirimpetto.
