The mountain overlooks the valley of the Romanche river and the village of La Grave to the north. The summit is very close to Meije, which is separated by a ridge.
Le Râteau has the appearance of a rake or a comb with several teeth; the English translation of le râteau is "the rake". The mountain has two distinct peaks at its ends.
