Pic de la Bressola, Mountain summit in Porta and Meranges, spanning France and Spain.
Pic de la Bressola, also called Pic d'Engorgs, is a 2,818-metre mountain on the border between Meranges in Baixa Cerdanya and Porta in Alta Cerdanya, Northern Catalonia. It stands just east of the south-western corner of Porta's communal territory and north of Meranges, north-west of the Portella de Meranges and of the Puig de Campcardós, also known as Puigpedrós.
The sources record no historical events for the peak itself; its documented role is as a route. Many walking and ski-mountaineering tours across the Pyrenees between Alta Cerdanya, Baixa Cerdanya and Andorra pass over this summit, which lies just east of the south-western end of Porta commune and north of Meranges.
The mountain carries two Catalan names, Pic de la Bressola and Pic d'Engorgs, used for the same 2,818-metre summit on the Meranges–Porta boundary. Its slopes lie on the routes of many walking and ski-mountaineering trips linking Alta Cerdanya, Baixa Cerdanya and Andorra, so the peak is crossed by skiers and hikers moving between the two Cerdanyas and the Principality.
