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

The rugged terrain offers limited vegetation cover. A narrow beech belt grows at heights of 1,400–1,500 m (4,600–4,900 ft). As the altitude increases, the landscape transitions to alpine pastures, filling the higher reaches of the massif.
