The lake named Laghet la Greina (0.183 km²[2]) is located not far from the summit, on the northwest side of the mountain, at an elevation of 2,585 metres. The faces are steep. Only a small glacier, named Glatscher dil Terri, lies at the base of the north face. It previously extended down to the lake.
The summit can be reached by experienced hikers via a trail on the west ridge. The normal route starts above Lake Luzzone at the Motterascio hut (2,171 metres), owned by the Swiss Alpine Club.
