Location

The shelter is on the Aigua de Valls river, in Guixers. Driving along the LV-4241 road from Berga to Sant Llorenç de Morunys, at kilometre 20.725 we will turn right towards Montcalb; after passing Sisquer, we will continue for 1.7 kilometres, and at this point we will leave the road and continue to the left along a track that passes by can Jou and la Perera. After covering 4 kilometres from the road and 350 metres before reaching the dam of the small Xut reservoir, we will find the shelter located just above, right below a spur of round rock, with relatively easy access climbing diagonally through the middle of the forest.
