Mount Smolikas (2637 m a.s.l.) is the second highest mountain in Greece [after Mount Olympus, 2912 m a.s.l.] and the highest of the Pindus Mountains. The mounatin is formed in ophiolite rocks. During the Pleistocene the northern and eastern cirques and valleys were glaciated on several occasions. The last glaciers of this area retreated c. 11,500 years ago (Hughes et al. 2006).
