The protalus lobe is active and shows a slow horizontal displacement (7xA0;cm yrˉ). The Maladeta protalus lobe is located in an environment with mountain permafrost. The activity of protalus lobes shows a genesis periglacial, with a frozen body. The protalus lobe dynamic shows an interannual response to climatic variability. The location in temperate high mountain makes it an morphoclimatic geoindicator.
