Location

The rock shelter is located at the Roques de la Corbera (Tavertet). From km 6.73 of the BV-5207 road, where the track begins (closed with a padlock) that leads to the Noguer, we will take a path that starts about 30 m before, which runs level, parallel to the road. After a little more than 100 m the path gains height and we soon reach the balma de la Corbera Vella. From this one we will continue to the right and soon we will reach the balma de la Visera.

Description

Morphology

It is a large rock shelter 10 metres high, 38 m wide and 14 metres deep, with the floor occupied by large blocks.

Other details

In the central part there is a stone wall, which we believe to be of recent construction, that forms a room that serves as a shelter.

History

Known since time immemorial. Cited by J. Mor (GE Mollet) in a list of cavities of the Cabrerès and published on a website that has changed domains several times.
