Puigmal d'Er Summit
Highlight • Summit
It is located between the municipal terms of Queralbs, of the Ripollès region and the commune of Er, of Alta Cerdanya. It rises as the highest and most western of the peaks that make up the so-called Gran Olla, which surrounds the Vall de Núria.
It is the second highest mountain, after Carlit, in the Eastern Pyrenees. This peak is included in the list of the 100 peaks of the FEEC.
It is a broad and rounded peak, and its ascent is simple if the weather conditions are not very adverse. At its top there is a wrought iron cross and a plaque with verses by Monsignor Cinto Verdaguer:
"From hill to hill through the Finestrelles pass
they climb from Puigmal to the high peak
all the land that my heart loves
from here you can see the mountains waving".

It is best to do this when there is still snow so as not to meet the crowd that usually climbs when it disappears.
It is on the list of the 100 essential peaks of the F.E.E.C.
