Coll de Pal, Mountain pass in Bagà, Spain

Coll de Pal is a mountain saddle at 2,106 m between Puigllançada and Cap del Serrat Gran, in the municipality of Bagà. It divides the Riutort valley, draining to the Llobregat, from the Ringueta torrent, draining to the Segre. The BV-4024 road from Bagà reaches the pass at km 19 and continues to km 21, where the Coll de Pal ski area stands at 2,025 m.

The BV-4024 road reached the pass in the 20th century, partly following the forest track to Pleta de Comabella. In 1983 a 110 kV power line from Cercs to Cerdanya was installed across the pass, inaugurated on 19 November 1983 by the President of the Generalitat. The ski club was founded in 1977, after the ski area was projected in 1975.

The name comes from a pre-Roman root "pal" or "pala", meaning a smooth, very steep slope or a sloping, craggy meadow, a term also found in the Occitan and Catalan Pyrenees. Near the pass stands the Pleta de Comabella, a livestock enclosure and shepherd shelter used during the summer grazing season.

The road to the summit has several tight hairpin turns and requires careful driving, especially in bad weather. Parking is available at the top and along the road, with access to hiking trails nearby.

The pass is the highest point of the GR 4 long-distance trail from Puigcerdà to Montserrat, and also of the GR 3 Central Catalonia trail. It has repeatedly hosted stage finishes: three times in the Volta a Catalunya (1978, 1979 and 2026) and three in the Setmana Catalana (2002, 2003, 2005).
