Roca Colom is a peak at 2,507 m located at the confluence of the communes of Mentet (Conflent) and Prats de Molló i la Presta (Vallespir) and the municipality of Setcases (Ripollès).

It belongs to the Concros circus, on the southwest side. The main ridge of the Pyrenees converges with the ridge that descends from the Canigó, so that at the top the valleys of the Tec (which originates on its eastern slope), the Tet, next to the term of Mentet, and the Ter converge , on the part of the Concros circus.

The summit is flat and broad, with a set of stones that allow you to secure the culminating point. It offers a view of the surroundings, with the mountains of the Ulldeter cirque, Pic de la Dona, Portella de Mentet, Puig de Coma Ermada and, at the foot, the Concrós cirque. The ascent can be done by a well-trodden path, either from the ski resort of Vallter via La Portella de Mentet, or from the Fonda pass via Coll de Pal.

Many of the hiking routes of the southern area of the Canigó massif pass through Roca Colom, as well as a variant of the GR 11.

Are you curious that it is the first peak of the border ridge (and of the Pyrenees of Southern Catalonia) that exceeds 2,500 masl coming from the Mediterranean.
