Puig de Coma d'Or, Mountain peak in Angoustrine, France.
Puig de la Coma d'Or is a mountain peak in the Eastern Pyrenees on the Franco-Spanish border, rising to 2826 meters (9,272 feet). From this summit, the views extend across the mountain range, Ariège, Catalonia, and Andorra.
The peak gained recognition through its inclusion in the FEEC100 list, an established catalog of notable summits in the border region. This classification brought the mountain to the attention of hikers and climbers across the region.
The summit connects three French municipalities: Angoustrine, Villeneuve-des-Escaldes, and Mérens-les-Vals, representing a geographical intersection of regional communities.
The hike typically starts from Col de Puymorens along established mountain trails with moderate difficulty. Good footwear and weather protection are advisable, especially when fog develops at higher elevations.
Near the summit sits Estany de Coma d'Or, an alpine lake that mirrors the surrounding peaks on clear days. This unexpected water body in the barren high-altitude landscape creates a striking visual contrast.
