It is located at a distance of 70 km from the Provincial Capital. This winter center, despite being small in size, is at 2,000 m. of altitude, so its snow is highly appreciated, especially by Aragonese skiers and the Valencian community who, due to its proximity, are the ones who frequent and know it the most.

The geodesic vertex called Peñarroya points 2028.228 m with respect to the base of the observation pillar, but it sits on two bodies of stone masonry. Altitude of the bodies of the order of 10 or 11 meters in total. LIDAR data confirm a ground level elevation of 2017 m. Peñarroya is a chromotoponym that refers to the color of the rocks that make up the mountain. The spelling in the Spanish language is Peñarroya and in the Aragonese language Penyarroya or Peñarroya depending on the spelling chosen for the palatal nasal. The origin of the toponym is quite clear. It combines the common noun peña, from the Latin PĭNNAM, 'battlement', with the adjective RŭBEŭS, -A, -UM 'blond'. The toponym reflects the reddish hue of the terrain. The spelling Penya (in addition to others such as Penna or Peña) is included in many medieval texts in Aragon. For example, in 1448 to designate the summit of the mountain range (of Peña) that rises above Sos del Rey Católico on the border, then, with the kingdom of Navarra.
