TopographyEdit
Il domine le cirque des Crabioules et Superbagnères au nord, le vallon de Remugne au sud.
GeologyEdit
The summit is mainly granitic.
AccessEdit
There are many climbing routes. Access is possible on the eastern ridges (from le pic de Boum) and west (from le col des Crabioules, or by intermediate skying slopes). The standard route lies to the north via the refuge du Maupas, then the pass between la Tusse and le pic du Maupas.
