Leaving by car from the town of Planoles, located on the road that goes from Ribes de Freser towards the Collada de Tosses, we arrive at Collet de les Barraques. From this summit we have good views of Puigmal, which is snowy again, as can be seen in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
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 image of snowy Puigmal once again gives hope. And the return of snow again to the Pyrenees can benefit rivers and swamps when the thaw occurs.
