The nature reserve is centred on Lake Rogen and is part of a wider network of nature protection areas that extend also on the other side of the border with Norway. The landscape is distinctly characterised by Rogen moraine, a type of moraine named after the area. It consists of long, sinuous low hills interspersed with long lakes. In addition, large erratic boulders are spread over the land. In all directions, mountain tops — parts of the Scandinavian Mountains — rise to about 1,000 m (3,300 ft). The highest peak in the area is Brattriet with an altitude of 1,200 m (3,900 ft). The landscape was formed during the last Ice age, and has been described as "labyrinthine".
