These mountains and their neighboring ranges are a desolate place with little human habitation.

There is also a shrine or small chapel dedicated to Saint Agatha in the high slopes of the range.

[3] This mountain chain rises east of Rossell town and its western end merges with the Serra de Vallivana range in the area of the Port de Querol mountain pass in the N-232 road.

The northern slopes of the Serra del Turmell are covered with Mediterranean forest of holm oak and pine, while the southern slopes are almost denuded of vegetation with the grey limestone rocks exposed among scattered clumps of shrub.

The ranges of this sparsely populated mountain area have the most important forested zone of the region.
