The mountain lies between the Ordesa Valley, the Añisclo Canyon and the Pineta Valley, inside the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. The Aragonese name Pico Anyisclo originates from the eponymous valley in the Aragonese Pyrenees. Later on, the mountain was named Soum de Ramond after Louis Ramond de Carbonnières, the French politician, geologist and botanist.
