The western slope, wedged between Maja e Thatë and Maja e Rosit, has been shaped by intense frost activity, resulting in a relatively gentle relief called Pllana e Kukajt, which gradually descends into the glacial valley of Kukaj. The eastern slope is more fragmented, mainly due to its positioning at
