Location

On the N-260 road, after passing Campdevànol, the l'Herand colony, and km 123, we will find the Pont de la Cabreta where we will leave the vehicle. We will follow the road in the direction of Ribes de Freser for about a hundred metres, until we reach the torrent that is on our right on the other side of the road; once at the torrent, on the left a small path equipped with ropes starts, which will lead us to some climbing routes; once past these we will have to head up the mountain in an E-NE direction until we find the cliff where the rock shelter is located.

Entrances

Description

Morphology

A large 16x7 metre entrance gives access to an ascending gallery where at the end we find a passage that ends after a few metres.

Progression

We will leave the vehicle at the Pont de la Cabreta. We will follow the road in the direction of Ribes de Freser for about a hundred metres, until we reach the torrent that is on our right on the other side of the road. Once at the torrent, on the left a small path equipped with ropes starts, which will lead us to some climbing routes. Once past these we will have to head up the mountain in an E-NE direction until we find the cliff where the rock shelter is located.

History

Cavity unpublished speleologically, known by climbers. In December 2025 Nil Hosta Ferrer and Tanit Sanmartin visited it, carrying out cataloguing work.
