Much of the municipality and the mountain is covered with pine forests. It is also home to some birds and some butterflies. The Kladeos river passes through Lala. The remainder of the lands are made up of rivers and streams. The mountain formed a historical border with Elis and Arcadia. Its present boundary is now at the Erymanthus river.
