The range runs in an east to west direction and is part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. The main peak is Punta del Curull (1021 m), other summits are Penya Alta (1015 m), Punta del General (924 m), Punta de Viern (904 m), Punta del Moliner (902 m), Punta del Marc (901 m), Punta del Ponç (892 m) and Punta d'en Llor (891 m).[1]

The Serra de la Llena runs parallel to the Serra de Montsant. The Montsant River runs at the feet of the southern face and the town of Vilanova de Prades is located amidst the rocky outcrops of the range, near the eastern summits. The Llena mountain range also makes for the mainspring for the Set river, from where its 28-mile length of water rises and flows.
