Queralbs is a municipality in the comarca of the Ripollès in Catalonia, Spain. It is situated in the Pyrenees to the north of Ribes de Freser, with the peaks of Puigmal (2909 m), Infern (2896 m) and Noufonts (2864 m). Tourism and hydroelectric generation are the bases of the local economy. The shrine of Núria is situated in the municipality, to the north of the village: it houses a romanesque marial image of la Mare de Déu de Núria. The shrine is reached by a rack railway from Ribes de Freser, which also serves the village. There is also a local road to Ribes de Freser (7 km, 4 miles), which serves the ski resort.
