Rodó de Canalbona or Pic Rodó de Canalbona is a mountain of Catalonia. Located in the Montcalm Massif, Pyrenees, at the border between France and Spain, it has an altitude of 3004 metres above sea level.[1]

Mountaineers use a route that goes over the ridge towards Pica d'Estats. It is not an easy ascent.[2]

The Estanyol Occidental de Canalbona or Estany de Canalbona is a small glacial lake located between the Pic de Canalbona and the "Rodó de Canalbona", at the base of the "Collet Fals" in the Montcalm Massif near the "Pica d'Estats". The lake drains towards the Catalan side. The ice usually is totally melted at the end of the summer.
