Avenc del Coll de l'alec

Petit avenc de 8 m. de fondària a Camprodon (Ripollès)

Camprodon • Ripollès16m8m

Small 8 m deep pit in Camprodon (Ripollès), near the coll de l'Alec and the headwaters of the riera de Bolós.

Characteristics

Location

Near the coll de l'Alec and at the headwaters of the riera de Bolós.

To get there we take the forest track that leaves the C-38 road from Sant Pau de Segúries to Camprodon and heads towards Beget. On reaching the coll del Sitjar a track branches off to the left that takes us to the coll de l'Alec. Here we will leave the cars to go following the high-tension line as far as pylon 270 LR and once past it we will find a track that crosses it, we go to the left and after about 50 metres, at a crossing of tracks and under a large tree (data 2025) we will find the mouth of the pit, which because of its dimensions (5x4 metres) is easy to locate.

Description

Morphology

Small 8 m deep pit. The mouth is 5x4 metres. It is a ramp that leads into a small chamber, from which a small impassable fissure continues, penetrable only a couple of metres.

Progression

We do not need a rope to descend it, since it is a ramp that leaves us in a small chamber and from here a small fissure continues, penetrable only a couple of metres, but from which a strong air current emerges.

History

Discovered and explored in January 1990 by members of the Grup d'Espeleologia de Badalona.
