Its highest peak, Maja e Spilesë (Lalucit), reaches a height of 2,155 m (7,070 ft).

[2] The mountain is composed primarily of limestone with some flysch, creating an anticlinal structure shaped by tectonic forces.

The western slope, which descends towards the Drino valley, is gentler and wider, featuring numerous karst springs, particularly near tectonic fractures.

The eastern slope is steeper, with less surface water flow and evidence of Quaternary glacial activity.

Forests are scarce, with maple, ash, sturgeon, hornbeam, and spruce being the primary tree species.
