Cim del Mont-roig, Mountain peak in Pyrenees, France and Spain

Cim del Mont-roig is a mountain peak in the Pyrenees reaching 2864 meters above sea level with exposed sandstone and lutite formations. The northern face displays steep rocky terrain while the southern slopes transition to gentler alpine meadows.

Mont Rouch is a border summit of the Pyrenees between the Ariège and the Pallars Sobirà, with two distinct tops: the French one at 2,856 to 2,868 m and the Spanish one at 2,863 to 2,864 m. Its Catalan name Mont-roig comes from the reddish colour of its rocks. The mountain is listed among the 100 peaks of the FEEC, and the Enric Pujol refuge above the lower Gallina pond, at 2,290 m, serves as a stage on the Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne.

The name Mont-roig, or mont Rouch in French, comes from the reddish colour of the rock, visible on the bare upper slopes. The summit is listed among the 100 cims of the FEEC, a Catalan hiking challenge, and the Haute randonnée pyrénéenne passes the Mont-Roig Enric Pujol refuge above the lower Gallina pond.

From Spain, a paved track from Tavascan leads to the staffed Pleta del Prat refuge at 1,720 m (50 beds), the usual base; the unguarded Mont-Roig Enric Pujol refuge at 2,290 m above the lower Gallina pond has 9 beds and an emergency call box. From France, the route from Salau via the Léziou valley is graded T5, with a steep, pathless forest section and a gorge-and-grass-slope traverse to the Clots de dessus cabin. The final south-east then south-west ridge is broad and needs little use of the hands.

The mountain has three summits along a 700-metre ridge. The eastern top (2,847 m) carries a geodetic vertex, reference 265063001, while the highest point (2,864 m) lies northeast along the ridge. The western end, Mont-roig Nord (2,856 m), is cut off by a steep gully called the Canal Central.
