Puig del Coll de Finestrelles, Mountain summit on the Spanish-French border in Queralbs and Llo
Puig del Coll de Finestrelles is a 2,744-metre mountain standing on the border between the Ripollès comarca and Alta Cerdanya. One of the possible routes to the summit sets off from the Vall de Núria. The peak is listed on the Alpina edition map of the Vall de Núria.
The summit lies on the border between the Ripollès comarca and Alta Cerdanya, at 2,744 metres. The sources record no medieval border role; the peak is documented as a mountain between these two Catalan-speaking areas, one of the possible routes starting from the Vall de Núria.
The name Finestrelles comes from the Catalan for "little windows", a reference to the gaps in the rocky ridge that the summit crowns. The peak rises to 2,744 metres on the watershed between the Ripollès and Alta Cerdanya, and the border between Spain and France runs across it. One of the routes to the top sets out from the Vall de Núria.
Hiking trails from both sides lead to the summit, with the Spanish route starting in Queralbs and the French path beginning in Llo. Access is possible, but hikers should expect variable mountain conditions and rocky terrain.
The summit rises to 2,744 metres between the Ripollès and Alta Cerdanya, and one possible route starts from the Vall de Núria. The name Finestrelles refers to the coll below the peak, not to the summit itself.
