Puigllançada, Mountain summit in Bagà, Berguedà, Catalonia, Spain
Puigllançada is a rounded, not steep mountain of 2,409 metres in the municipality of Bagà, Berguedà. Its north face holds the Torrent Negre sector of the La Molina ski resort, and a geodesic vertex, number 283082001, stands at the summit.
The mountain was designated as a landmark by the Cartographic Institute of Catalonia for surveying purposes. A measurement point was installed at the summit to help map the region.
Puigllançada is one of the peaks listed in the Challenge of the 100 Summits (Repte dels 100 cims) of the FEEC, the Federació d'Entitats Excursionistes de Catalunya. The FEEC is the Catalan federation of hiking clubs, and the summit's inclusion gives climbers a recognised goal to tick off. The Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya also lists it among the country's emblematic peaks.
The climb starts from Coll de Pal and follows a direct route without major technical challenges. The path is accessible to hikers of different experience levels and manageable for most visitors.
A 10 × 10 metre metal reflector panel once stood on the summit, bouncing microwave signals for fixed-line telephony in the analogue era above 1 GHz. The installation became obsolete, and at the request of the Bagà town council, which owns the land, it was removed entirely in June 2012, restoring the peak's earlier appearance.
