The mountain is divided between the French municipalities of Saint-Amarin, Geishouse, and Lautenbachzell, all belonging to the Haut-Rhin department.[1] Near the mountain's top is the ferme du Haag, a farm which also provides accommodation.[3]
The well known Route des Crêtes (French for "road of the peaks") transits not faraway from the top of the mountain, which is possible to reach on foot following a forest service road for about 2 km (1.2 mi).[4]
