[edit] Summits
The summit is located between the Catalan municipality of Alins in Pallars Sobirà and the French district of Ariège. It comprises three peaks, all lying close to each other:
- Central peak (3,143 m)
- Western peak, or Pic de Verdaguer, (3,131 m)
- Eastern peak, or Punta Gabarró, (3,115 m)
This eastern peak is the geodesic vertex. The ridge runs north-northwest to southeast along the Spanish–French border.
