Pic Petit de Segre, Mountain summit in Pyrenees, Spain and France
Pic Petit de Segre, also called Puigmal Petit de Segre, is a 2,808.8 m summit on the axial ridge of the Pyrenees, on the border between Queralbs (Ripollès) and the Cerdanya communes of Er and Llo. It is the second summit from the west among those enclosing the Vall de Núria, standing south-west of the Puigmal de Segre, east-south-east of the Puigmal de Llo and north of the Puigmal d'Er. Its top is bare eroded ground of loose pale grey-brown stone and gravel, broken by darker rocky outcrops and short sharp ridges, with bands of finer scree running down the slope.
Pic Petit de Segre lies on the axial ridge of the Pyrenees, on the historic border between the Catalan comarques of Alta Cerdanya and Ripollès. Its slopes belong to the communes of Er and Llo, in Northern Catalonia, and to the municipality of Queralbs. The summit is the second, counting from the west, of the peaks that enclose the Vall de Núria.
The summit lies on the axial ridge of the Pyrenees, where the communal terms of Er and Llo in Alta Cerdanya meet the municipal term of Queralbs in Ripollès. Its Catalan name pairs it with the higher Puigmal de Segre to the north-east; the alternative name Puigmal Petit de Segre uses the local form puigmal.
The summit lies on the axial ridge of the Pyrenees, between the Puigmal de Segre to the north-east and the Puigmal de Llo to the west, and is the second summit from the west of those ringing the Vall de Núria. Approaches start from Queralbs on the Spanish side and from Err and Llo on the French side. The upper slope is loose scree and gravel, so the final stretch is walked on unstable ground.
Pic Petit de Segre is the second summit from the west among the peaks that ring the Vall de Núria. Its 2,808.8-metre top lies on the Pyrenean axial ridge, southwest of the Puigmal de Segre and north of the Puigmal d'Er. The summit itself is bare, eroded ground of loose pale grey-brown stone and gravel, with darker rocky outcrops and short sharp ridges breaking the slope.
