Puigmal's snow melts in a flat fold

In The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can see these perspectives of the Puigmal from the N-152 road in Campdevànol (Ripollès). How quickly the high temperatures of this winter have melted the snow!

El Puigmal, in Alta Cerdanya, is the second highest mountain in the province of Girona, with 2914 meters, and is located on the border between Spain and France.

Located between the municipalities of Queralbs (Ripollès) and Err (Alta Cerdanya, Eastern Pyrenees), the Puigmal is the highest of the peaks that make up the so-called Gran Olla that surrounds the Vall de Núria.

It is a wide and rounded top. And its ascent is easy if the weather conditions are not very adverse. At its summit there is a forged iron cross and a plaque with verses by Jacint Verdaguer.

This winter had finally managed to be crowned with snow, but the temperatures have risen again and it seems that we will have to wait for another snowfall... if it comes.
