The current geomorphological aspect of the territory is the result of the erosive and modeling action of the glaciers.
Numerous orographic terraces arranged at various altitudes on the entire left side of the Mera river are recognizable.
Above the alluvial strip, the appearance is characterized by the elevation of some rocky ridges, by areas branching even with large boulders, by rocky walls, gorges, granite erratic boulders and by a watershed that separates the ridges from the lower slopes of the mountains .
On the top of the sheepskin rocks, striated and smoothed, in the center and along the sides of the glacial valleys are the Marmitte dei Giganti, also called glacial wells, of very variable dimensions and shapes and contiguous to intercommunicating channels, basins and basins.
