Pic de Finestrelles

El Puig, or Pic de Finestrelles is a mountain of 2,826.9 meters of altitude located on the axial ridge of the Pyrenees, located between the communal areas of Eina and Llo, both in the region of Alta Cerdanya, and the municipality of Queralbs, belonging to that of Ripollès.

It is at the south-west end of the Eina district, at the south-east, also end, of Llo and at the northern limit, towards the north-west side, of Queralbs. It has Pic de Núria nearby to the east, Coll de Finestrelles to the southwest and Puigmal de Segre, or Llo, a little further to the southwest.

It has the singularity of being the mountain from which the world record of portraying the most distant landscape on the planet has been achieved. In other words, this means, from a point on the planet (not aerial means or from celestial bodies), to be able to grasp a horizon that is maximally distant and that is defined enough to identify its relief. Specifically, the Ecrins (French Alps) were photographed at dawn on July 16, 2016, so that the distance of 443 km to Pic Gaspard was covered. Two and a half years later it still stands as a world record.
