Puig Pinyer, Mountain summit near La Jonquera, Spain

Puig Pinyer is a granite summit in the eastern Pyrenees near La Jonquera, rising to 951 meters. The peak offers views across surrounding valleys that extend toward the Mediterranean Sea.

Puig Pinyer, also called Puig dels Pinyers, Puig de Coll Forcat or Puig de Montforcat, is a 951-metre summit of the Albera range, shared between the commune of L'Albère in Vallespir (Northern Catalonia) and the municipality of La Jonquera in the Alt Empordà. It lies near the south-eastern edge of L'Albère's territory, north-east of Puig de Llobregat and Coll Forcat and south of Coll Forcadell. The border between France and Spain runs across the mountain.

The summit lies on the border between the Albera commune in Vallespir (Northern Catalonia, France) and La Jonquera in the Alt Empordà (Spain), so walkers pass between two states. Its Catalan name refers to the pine trees of the slopes, and the peak also appears as Puig dels Pinyers, Puig de Coll Forcat and Puig de Montforcat.

Marked trails depart from La Jonquera to reach the summit. Spring and fall offer comfortable temperatures and clear visibility for hikers.
