Characteristics

Location

From the Coll de Pal chalet, we continue towards the Masella ski slopes; on reaching the Pleta de Castanys we leave the track and go to the left to find the Torrent de Coma Pregona, following it up along the ski slopes, and on the left we find the entrances of two caves: the cova de l'Ós and the small one of l'Ós or TCP-2.
