Fontalba

Fontalba, Mountain destination in Queralbs, Spain.

Fontalba is a mountain spot in the municipality of Queralbs, in the Ripollès district, at about 2000 m altitude. An 11 km forest track opened in the 1970s for driving livestock up and down ends here. From the end of the track a classic route to the Puigmal starts, and a path with little gradient leads on foot to Núria in about an hour.

The forest track to Fontalba was opened in the 1970s to move livestock up and down the slopes. It was also planned as a road link to the Nuria valley and the sanctuary of the Virgin of Nuria, but the road was never completed. The track ends where the classic ascent route to Puigmal begins.
