Balma Alta de les Roques Roges

Balma a la zona de les Roques Roges (Bellver de Cerdanya)

Bellver de Cerdanya • Cerdanya9m0

Balma in the Roques Roges (Bellver de Cerdanya), with an entrance 4 m wide and 5 m high; explored in 2024.

Characteristics

Location

Going along the N-260 road (Puigcerdà – la Seu d'Urgell), at around km. 198, before the turn-off to Prullans and shortly after the restaurant La Muga, there is a turn-off to the right that enters a small industrial area along a paved track. A little over a hundred metres along, the track turns left in the direction of the Marble quarry of Griot, SA and on the same bend, to the right, the track to the house of Anes begins. Follow it until you get as close as possible to the Roques Roges and from there go up, practically without a path, until you reach the crag.

Description

Morphology

Balma that presents an entrance about 4 m wide and about 5 m high, giving access to a short gallery that keeps its width while the ceiling gradually loses height until, at about 9 m from the entrance, the passage narrows considerably until it becomes impassable.

Progression

You have to climb up as best you can and position yourself above the entrance of the Balma de Roques Roges and look for the point on the vertical where a rappel can be set up to descend to the entrance.

History

Spotted from a distance in July 2024 by members of the Espeleodijous group. They returned in November 2024, managing to reach the entrance and carry out the exploration.
