The border begins in the west at the Andorra-France-Spain tripoint (42°36′13″N 1°26′30″W﻿ / ﻿42.60361°N 1.44167°W﻿ / 42.60361; -1.44167).[1] It then follows a generally south-eastern direction, later turning northeast to the eastern Andorra-Spain-France tripoint (42°30′09″N 1°43′34″W﻿ / ﻿42.50250°N 1.72611°W﻿ / 42.50250; -1.72611). The dividing line between the two countries goes through high mountain areas, often over 2000 m, and passes close to the highest point of Andorra, the peak of Coma Pedrosa.
