The relief of the Southern Ural is more complex, with numerous valleys and parallel ridges directed south-west and meridionally.
 The range includes the Ilmensky Mountains separated from the main ridges by the Miass.
The maximum height is 1,640 m (5,380 ft) (Mount Yamantau) and the width reaches 250 km (160 mi).
Other notable peaks lie along the Iremel mountain ridge (Bolshoy Iremel and Maly Iremel).
The Southern Urals extend some 550 km (340 mi) up to the sharp westward bend of the river Ural and terminate in the wide Mughalzhar Hills.
