is an emblematic mountain in Catalonia, located between the municipalities of Saldes and Gósol, in Berguedà. It has a very peculiar shape, formed by two parallel ridges (the pollegons) joined by a pass (the Enforcadura). The Pollegó Superior has an altitude of 2,506.4 m (with a secondary peak, the Calderer of 2,496.7 m) and the Pollegó Inferior of 2,444.8 m. The Enforcadura is located at 2,356.2 m and has a scree on each side. The singularity of its shape, together with the fact that the massif is not part of a mountain range proper, have made the mountain one of the most famous in the Catalan territory. The Pedraforca massif has been declared a natural site of national interest, and the surroundings are part of the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park.
Pedraforca is a mountain in the Pre-Pyrenees, located in the comarca of Berguedà. The mountain's rare form, along with the fact that it is not visibly connected to any other adjacent mountains or ridges, has made it one of the most famous and emblematic mountains in Catalonia, the northeasternmost region of Spain.
