Location

From Passo Flamalgal, follow the path to the start of Canale del Ferà, then follow the base of the wall in the direction of Chiusetta. The entrance is a meander cut by the walls. A second entrance is encountered about fifty metres before the main one: a narrow crawlway, at the base of the same wall.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is a meander cut by the walls; the second entrance is a narrow crawlway at the base of the same wall.

Progression

From the main entrance, follow the meander to a junction. Taking the crawlway on the left leads to the second entrance. Following the main route, a sequence of pits leads to the bottom of the cave. From the base of the large pit, a steeply sloping gallery branches off which, after a drop of about 15 m, leads to a narrow meander that does not allow passage (-120 m).
