About

Puigpedrós (also known as Puig de Campcardós) is a mountain located at the border between Catalonia, Spain and the département of Pyrénées-Orientales (France).

Part of the Pyrenees, its summit has an elevation of 2,912 metres above sea level.

According to the Catalan toponymist Lluís Bassede, the name originates from puig (Catalan word for "mountain with a round peak") and pedrós (meaning, "rocky"), due to the amount of rocks found in its peak.
