Puig Roja

Puig Roja is a mountain summit in the Canigou massif within the eastern Pyrenees. The peak sits where three local municipalities meet and stands as a notable landmark along the ridge system of this region.

The peak has served as a natural landmark for locals and hikers since the 1800s as they crossed the eastern Pyrenees. Its position on a municipal boundary made it an important reference point for people navigating this mountain region.

The surrounding region incorporates Catalan traditions through hiking festivals that showcase the local mountain wildlife and plant species throughout the year.

The route to the summit starts at the Estables refuge and follows a trail to Col de la Régine with access to several ridge peaks. Rocky sections along the way require careful footing and proper hiking boots.

From this peak, the view extends across the Vallespir valley and stretches to the Mediterranean Sea beyond the Albères mountains. On clear days, the sight lines reach across multiple ridges and down to the sea.
