Characteristics

Location

From Bellver one must take the GR-107 heading toward coll de Pendís while ascending the valley of Ingla. Between the house of Ingla de Baix and the font d'Ingla, on the left of the track and above the right slope of the valley, the balma d'Ingla should be found.

Approximate coordinates and low-precision location, to be reviewed.
