Roquefixade is a charming mountain village whose name in Occitan means "fractured rock". The name is perfect, as the village is dominated by a steep and picturesque mass of stone.
A 15km climb from the west, from river to forest and with stunning views across to Roquefixade, followed by a fast and very windy descent into the start of the climb to Montsegur or back to Lavelanet.
