Pic d'Aude, Mountain summit in Les Angles, France
Roc d'Aude is a summit of the eastern foothills of the Carlit massif, reaching 2,326 m in the commune of Les Angles, Capcir, northern Catalonia. Its highest part forms a flat shoulder holding an altisurface, marked by a low mound of pale grey and reddish-brown rocks with a single square stone post about one metre tall. The eastern and north-eastern slopes carry the ski runs of the Les Angles resort.
The summit lies in the commune of Les Angles, in the Capcir area of the eastern Pyrenees, on the eastern foothills of the Carlit massif. Its eastern and north-eastern slopes were developed for the ski runs of the Les Angles resort, which descend from the summit and from the neighbouring Mont Llaret. In 2026 a municipal project for a water reservoir near the roc d'Aude at about 2,300 m, meant to feed artificial snow, drew opposition from nature and biodiversity groups and led to several demonstrations.
The mountain's eastern and north-eastern slopes carry the ski runs of the Les Angles resort, and an important climbing school operates on the mountain itself. Hiking routes cross the summit, and the neighbouring Mont Llaret shares the same small massif. The name Aude also belongs to the lake at its south-western foot, where the river of that name rises.
The summit lies in the commune of Les Angles, in Capcir, not in Ariège. It can be reached on foot by marked hiking trails, or by ski lifts and ski tows from the Les Angles ski resort. The eastern and north-eastern slopes carry the resort's ski runs, and a small altiport sits near the top.
The summit's highest part forms a flat replat holding an altisurface, a small mountain airfield, close to the top. The eastern and northern slopes of the massif are graded into the ski pistes of Les Angles, and a marked hiking trail also reaches the summit.
