The summits on the mountain offer excellent views of some of the main peaks of the Pyrenees in the north.

The Peña Montañesa was one of the strongholds of Spanish Republican resistance against invading troops supporting General Franco during the Bolsa de Bielsa episode.[2]

The ruins of the Real Monasterio de San Victorián are located in El Pueyo de Araguás, at the foot of the Peña Montañesa.
