The Puigmal or Puigmal d'Er is a mountain in the Eastern Pyrenees , on the border between France and Spain . The Puigmal is not a conspicuous or particularly characteristic mountain and is therefore also contemptuously called coma de vaca ('cow hill'). Nevertheless, the most popular summit tour leads from the Vall de Núria to the Puigmal, the highest mountain there, which offers the hiker a wonderful view.
Routes
On the French and Spanish sides, medium-difficulty hiking and ski tours lead to the summit:
- Sanctuary in Vall de Núria (1,967 m) - Puigmal: 2.5 hours on foot
- Fontalba - Puigmal
- Les Planes - Puigmal
On the French side is the Cerdagne Puigmal 2900 ski area .
